Nelson: April 2010

Attention: Lots and Lots of Posts ahead! I've been trying to play catch up!

We've been super super busy, but loving every minute of our lives! Read on for more of what we've been up too! Also, with all of the crazyness happening in this world, we really want to buckle down on food storage. Any suggestions of where to start? Have a great week everyone!

Max, Maxers, Maxy, Bubba, Bubsy, Bubbs...

I have so many pictures of Max from the past 2 months that I decided to just do a whole GIANT post about the GREATEST "little" man in the WORLD!

At about 3 months old there were times when he wouldn't stop crying. Seriously, ALL DAY LONG he'd just cry! I felt so bad for him, but being a first time mom I was a little CLUELESS as of what to do with my SAD SAD little boy! At his 2 month check up I talked to the Doc about Acid Reflux and he pretty much said NO WAY, he doesn't have that. So after about 2 LONG days of Max's continuous CRYING...non stop...before it was just most of the day, but this time it was CONTINUOUS...I called the Doc and took him in. Sure enough he told us that it sounded like Max had Acid Reflux...no offense, but...DUH! I knew it all along! So we got him on medicine and it is AMAZING! He is like a DIFFERENT baby! He is all smiles and he recently started laughing! I love him and I am so greatful for the joy that he brings into our home!

3 Months Old!

at 3 months some things he loves doing:

.Smiles all the time (except for pitures).

.Loves being with mom.

.(this is really bad but)Likes to watch Little Einsteins.

.Loves his tubbers.

.Likes to look at books and have mom read to him.

.Likes to play with our hands.

.Loves to be cuddled.

.Loves to eat.

.Loves or should I say Loved to sleep, he's going through a no-sleeping phase right now and I think that I'm going to go INSANE!.

Such a CUDDLE BUG! I love it!

Ok, is this not THE CUTEST PICTURE EVER!

He's got his hat on and is getting toasty for our morning walks!

All bundled up for the walk...sucking his thumb!

I just love his cheeks! CHUBBERS!

He LOVES to sit in his BUMBO!

All SMILES!

Ha ha Stacie and I were putting our hair extensions on him! Poor Max!

Today is Max's 4 Month Birthday! Happy Birthday Bubba! We love you so much!

I'll post some 4 month stats in a bit!

Easter

We had such a fun Easter this year! Saturday we went to my parents house to dye eggs and have a YUMMY dinner. Sunday we spent at Brad's parents house. We had dinner and a fun Easter Egg Hunt...It ended up being too cold outside for Max so Uncle A.J. got the GOODS for us!

We caught Max mid sneeze!

Mimi and Maxers

Coloring eggs! So much FUN!

Our freaking cool PLAID EGGS!

Max got so SPOILED by Mimi and Poppy and by Nana and Papa (I didn't get a pic of their present, but it is a cute thing that he can stand behind and push when he gets older, it also turns into a little bike. They got him some cute Easter Books too! Thanks!)

Ha ha I think that he LOVES the toy! Thanks Mimi and Poppy!

We all made away pretty darn good on Easter...Especially Max! The Easter Bunny went a SMIDGE OVERBOARD! HE got a Jumperoo, tons of books, tond of clothes, and the movie Where the Wild Things are cause the boy in that is Max, and he got some toys too!

Max waking up and trying out his new TOY! He wasn't so sure about it at first, but now he LOVES it so much!

Brad, Max, and Chance on Easter Sunday!

Hopefully everyone had a GREAT EASTER with family and loved ones!

CHANCER'S IS 2!

Our Nephew Chance turned 2 on March 23rd! They did a TRACTOR and DIRT party, it turned out so cute! He is one SPOILED little BOY! We just LOVE him to pieces! I don't want to wish Max's life away, but it will be so fun when he can get excited like Chance did about all of his presents!

What a STUD! He LOVES tractors and cars!

Hil made him the cutest "DIRT" cake. It was so DELICIOUS too!

Papa kept trying to get Max to SMILE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANCER'S! WE LOVE YOU!

St. George

I went back to work the second week in March and Brad and I thought that it would be fun to plan a little VACA before life started back up. My Uncle and Aunt have this AWESOME house in St. George and they were kind enough to let us stay there! The wheather was fairly decent and we had some FUN playing catch up with a few of our friends that live down there!

Since it's been awhile since this took place I'll save the boring words and just post some pictures of our fun vacation!

I must note that at this time we were un-aware that Max had Acid Reflux so I can't complain about the car ride, he was great for that, but as for the everyday activities...NOT SO MUCH! We delt with A LOT of tears this trip...all in all...it was still a SUCCESS!

He was THRILLED about the whole swimming thing...(ha ha NOT)

We got to hang out with one of my good friends Jamie and he husband Seth. Jamie and I were friends in 9th grade when she moved to St. George. Everytime we're down there we always get together! We went to Pasta Factory and then went to their house and Seth played the guitar and sang for us! GO SETH!

I did A LOT of this...HOLDING Max! ha ha remember the tears thing?! Oh, and that thing that you see in ALL of his pictures is his SNUGGIE...We can't leave home WITHOUT it...EVER!

These are our CRAZY and OH-SO-AWESOME friends Beth and Brad! Brad and Brad (he he) served their mission together in Texas. We LOVE these 2 so much! They are always SO much FUN to hang out with. Not to mention, Beth saved me by helping me with Max. She was so cute with him! THANKS GUYS!
