Sit up school

Max is helping Kira learn how to sit up, while she spit up...

...like any great teacher, his method is a video.

Kira has a bit of a fungus situation on her forehead.  It is conveniently located on top of her already red stork-bite.  Max keeps asking, "what is that mark?!"  Nothing a little [jock itch] cream can't fix.  Minus the jock itch, of course.

I hardly sit up and you put me in a rocking chair??

Well over 30 seconds

Max coincidentally has a Tommy spoon to match his Percy chopsticks

Neil Diamond sing-a-long

Throw him the ball so he can....fly into the stands.  Again.  And again.  And a lot more.

Bank card heist

12 hours after Max ate dinner with chopsticks he ate breakfast with them, too.  The chopsticks were washed, the jersey was not.  Funny boy also got caught red handed with daddy's missing bank card.  The card went missing last night and after looking all over, daddy resigned to cancel it today.  Max was playing store this morning with his toy cash register and handed mommy a very real looking bank card.  "I got it from daddy's wallet!" Max said with a sly smirk.  He probably wanted a reward for finding it.

Lunch date with Jake and Kate

Max hijacked my bath!!!

A swing and...

Flying into the stands!

Sleeping in on Saturday!!!!!

Kira and Max let mommy and daddy sleep until [DRUMROLL] 7am!!!!!! Out of disbelief and pure jubilation, a well-rested mommy gave Max the Derek Jeter jersey she had stowed away for him as a reward for...something spectacular.  Kira, who has been waking up at 6am, but coos and plays in her crib until 7am, was more than pleased to receive her bottle.

Mommy feels the same way and she did not even get a jersey!

"Kira!  Look at my shirt! Do you see?  Do you see it!?"

The Lugnuts were down some players for today's game; they had 5 players to the opponents 10.  Max helped out by fielding for the opponent a little while his team was up to bat.  He only ran over to scream, "Mommy! I love you!" once during the game.  Sweet ball player.

Crashing into the stands (mommy) a la Derek Jeter

Braving this particularly cold day to watch her brother play ball.

Braving more of her brothers ball playing.  This time, the excruciatingly loud reinactment of 'the dive'.

Max is obsessed with these Percy chopsticks from Lotte.  He proudly ate his whole dinner with them.

Go high, or go home

Max and Kira enjoyed swinging in the cool sunny air.  Kira was nice and warm and Max said he was, too.

Town Center ball

Just when Max thought he had all of the cars that Timmy had...but thanks for sharing your awesome new 4-wheeler!

1, 2, 3...

4!

It is so much easier to sit on the couch 

Daddy kisses

Pears!

Four slices of turkey bacon and two viewings of "the rocket ship

Mickey" later...Max would eat a whole package of turkey bacon for breakfast if his mommy made it for him.

Shopping list snack

Who needs the food when you can eat the list?

Max was 1 for 2 this afternoon.

"Look at me I am so good on the monkey bars!"

"Look at Kira, she can sit up!"

Pear share

Mommy: "Max do you want a napkin to wipe the broccoli off your face?"

Max: "Hahahaha I'm all covered in mooooossssss" (quoting a little ditty called, Spaghetti and Meatballs)

If you give a baby a spoon

...they give themself a blueberry face mask.  After all, they are filled with antioxidants.    

Self feeding at its finest

Stop trying to make me sit up!

After Kira quit 'sit up school' she tried to scoot/swim

Dinner for four.  Kira is located just out of the frame but devoured her dinner first.  This can be attributed to her insatiable appetite, being strapped down to her high chair, and being spoon fed every bite of her meal.  It could also be because she is pretty perfect all the time. 

Max slept until 7:10am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Best. Morning. Ever.

DC play date

We went to visit mommy's friends Jason and Mara and their kids Raya and Ari who were visiting DC from New York.  Raya gave Max a squishy brain keychain from her daddy's conference.  "What is it?" Max asked.  When he was told it was a brain, like the one in his head, he was deeply confused, scratched his head (as if trying to get inside), and said, "but I don't see it!"  

Max and Raya 

Max's mommy is slacking In the swing department 

This scale/sesaw ride was lots of fun, but Max and Raya did not weigh enough to make it move by itself 

Early morning Neil Diamond jam session 

"We're comin to America..." 

"Mommy, I'm teaching Kira to sing"

"Kira do you like my shirt?"
