Pearly whites

Despite saying, "No doctor, no dentist" in the car, Max did great at his first dentist appointment this afternoon.  He insisted on lying on his mom [and future sibling] in the chair, but was completly calm while his teeth were scrubbed with strawberry toothpaste.  The dentist was surprised by his agreeable demeanor and even more so that he had every single one of his two-year old teeth (a rarity for kids born with clefts).   Max was generously rewarded with plenty of "treasures", but was only interested in his new toothbrush.

Mommy/daddy era waiting room toys vs. Max era waiting room toys (x-box- and no, he did not know how to play it, but he sure looks like he does)

Pink means plaque- but Max did not have too much.

No cavities!

Bathtime

Bubble goatee

Max found a bar of soap and was excited to wash himself.  He kept scrubing his armpits- he said it was like daddy.

Soap is not a snack!  "Soap yucky", Max said after he put it in his mouth- several times.

Happy to start a new week

Happy Daddy's Day!

These two are so in love

This little piggy had a cupcake...

Some kids play with dirt at the playground, Max plays with a $5.

Max took daddy to Fuddruckers for Father's Day.  He was so excited to drink out of this styrofoam cup that he punctured a hole in the side of the cup, causing ice-cold wet shorts and a moderate-major meltdown.      

Sick, sleepy, silly Saturday

Max started to feel sick last night so after sleeping on the couch/daddy for an hour, he went to bed early without a fight.  Despite several false alarms, Max slept until 10:30am!  That is definitly the latest he (or anyone else in our house) has slept since he was born. 

Wide awake and refreshed after 16 hours of sleep.

Fresh air 

After a 3.5 hour nap, Max was too sleepy to play basketball so he assisted daddy's shots from the comfort of the sidelines.

Banking

Now that Max knows what money is, he gets very excited when he has some to put in his piggy bank.  

Max likes to put his money in the bank like daddy, but will he like to spend it like mommy? 

U.S. Open warm up

Farmers Market Wednesday

Threatening thunderstorms could not keep the Ansdel Court crew away from the market, or more importantly away from the ice pops.

Sharing with Ceci

Max was even nice enough to give his mom a bite of his delicious coconut pop

Peek-a-boo

Hose down

Timmy is keeping the court clean

So serious about the hair cut he requested 

Colorful car wash

Max said he did not like the car wash, but his facial expressions as the lights changed color, in the soapy tunnel, tell another story.

Sunglass swap!

And they're off!

Max raced [while watching] the Belmont Stakes.

Fairfax Corner Friday

What could be more perfect than a splash pad and choo-choo train in the same place?!

I spy...

A basketball hoop!

Farmers Market Wednesday

Fresh strawberries- yum!

Soccer ball game

Max loves to play a "soccer ball game" on the back deck.

The blues

Blue shirt, blue cup, blue spoon, blue ice cream!

Friends!

Great friends, great weather, great day!

The crew is back together! Jackson, Gianna, and Max!

Taking a break from scooting to admire Cecilia 

Fill'r up

Max was quite pleased to find a doctor kit at the neighborhood yard sale.

TGIF!

Pizza pie!

Max's big news!

Max is getting promoted to Big Brother this November!

Double brush

Max might just be the first person to double fist tooth brushes.

Knock-knock

Max cracked himself up by playing knock-knock with this bucket over his head.  At least his head was protected from his knocks.

Pool time before thunderstorm time 

Snacking in solitude. 

Max later took his bag of popcorn into the pool and dipped each piece in the water before eating it.
