good game, good music, good company

max attended his first baseball game, go braves. he also attended his first concert. he will be one of few babies who grow up and say no, my first concert was not barney or the wiggles, my first concert was the avett brothers (who performed at the grammys with bob dylan). scott and i love this band and when we heard they were playing a free concert after the braves game we got tickets right away. josh and sarah love them too so we asked them to join us (jac came too). we had a great time. max did so well even though he only napped about 40 minutes in the car on the way to the stadium.

he loved the music more than the game.



pigtails and crewcuts

that was the name of the place we took max to get his first official haircut. let me say that it was traumatizing for max and for me. i had been trimming max's sides and back since about christmas (jarrod cut it the first time). yes, it was long and shaggy, but i like the justin beiber look he had going on and i knew the minute i took him to one of these places they would take away my baby and replace him with a big boy. that is exactly what happened. i was so sad for the first few days after the haircut. it grew back pretty quickly (this time without so many straggly long hairs) and now i love his new do. i think it was when she pulled out the buzzers, what? that i knew she was not listening to my wish of just a little off the sides and front. oh well, it's just hair, right? like i said, it grew back and he looks like my precious baby again.

happy easter

max awoke to find that the easter bunny had visted him and delivered some goodies inside his easter basket. he loved his hand-carved wooden train, three new balls,

and some sand tools to go with his new sand/water table.

easter eve day he hunted eggs at the annual easter egg hunt at pop and nana's. he was more interested in finding pop, playing ball, and picking up the enormous decorative plastic eggs laying around the yard and placing them in his easter basket (which is big enough to fit those large suckers).

he loved his easter basket from pop and nana.

this is max watching sesame street. so, this is the first time he has watched television. scott and i want max to grow up the way we did; playing outside, getting dirty,making his own fun, real playing with real people. so, when the pediatrician says no media until the age of 2 we were glad to have two reasons to keep him away from the tv. lately we have been watching about 20 minutes of sprout when we wake up on the weekends. he definitely enjoys the shows we watch and he always wants to snuggle up on our laps to watch and talk about what he sees. you can see how precious he is while he watches in this picture.
