uncle mike in da house ...

you all may remember my uncle mike
as my first visitor in the hospital

it has been a while since i have seen him
so he came out from arizona
for the 4th of july weekend

dad says that he [mike] is pretty smart
i didn't see that
but we sure had a lot of fun ...

he was talking a lot about his eye phone
until i busted out my orange cell
it was pretty clear who had the superior communication tool

that's how i roll ...

... sorry for the repeat

that's almost 1/2 a year ...

feast your eyes on
some of the choice pics from
my six month photo shoot



































dad tried cutting in on my action
it did not end well for him

couchin' it ...

it has been mad hot at times this summer
fortunately mom has a knack for finding shady spots
suitable for outside fun ... blowing bubbles ... watching the birds
NOT eating the grass i have come to understand
i have even been known to read a book out of doors

when i do kick it inside
i do so in style ... of course
and i try to stay active
i have been coaching dad on using the new remote
and continue to advance the peace talks
with the furry creatures that lurk in our home

like i said ...

... moms has my back
when it comes to keepin' my gear tight
one of the newest additions to my arsenal
is the "exer-saucer" pictured below

i don't really get the name ...
the calorie expenditure is minimal at best
and none of the accessories taste like they have been sauced
but there are a few that i have yet to get in my mouth
i will continue to probe
keep your fingers crossed for honey mustard

i've got two ...

i am not sure how much time you spend sans socks
but that is how i roll most days
especially now that summer has hit happy valley

and i don't mean to seem ungrateful ...
mom has picked up some great toys for me
but there is nothing like a lazy afternoon
spent with one's ten little piggies

other newsworthy notes ...

i knew it had been a while but ...
almost two months ?!
again ... lo siento

two months ... that is more than a third of my time on this earth
in the upcoming days i will try to catch you up
on the key events and cute faces
of the last several weeks of maxwell ...

mom and i are getting more daring
with the solid food experimentation
i have carrots, sweet potatoes and pears under my belt now
i almost had some home-cooked stir fry this evening
but dad moved his bowl too quickly

i had another monthiversary too !
may 24th marked five months
if you are handy with a calendar and a calculator
you have already figured out that
six months is just a day or so away
stay tuned ...
