Mid-May Pictures

Max escaped from his bedroom after a bath.  I told him that he needed to put clothes on so he wouldn't get cold.  He said, "bus bus."  He won the argument because I had to take a picture.


It's getting cooler now so Max needs a bit more clothing for the morning run.  He likes to wear sunglasses just like Daddy.  Although you can't see it well, he's also wearing a watch just like Daddy.


Max grabbed a loaf of bread off the counter and proceeded to munch on it.

Mother's Day

On Mother's Day we went on a steam train ride through some of Brisbane's suburbs.

Max loved it!  I think he enjoyed riding the train, but his favorite part was seeing other trains pass by.  We saw lots of them since we passed through central Brisbane on our route.


Peering out of the carriage's window

It was a really nice Mother's Day.  After Max's nap, Tim took Max on an outing to get pizza so I got a chance to read a book.  Ahhh.

Pictures with Friends (mostly)

Emmanuel came over for a visit.  Max is quite fond of him and his wife, Malia ("emah" and "mia").  He can't seem to say one name without the other.  Max has also become fond of wearing hats.


Max's friend, Baxter, has come over for a few playdates recently.  They really play well "together."  Periodically, they will stop playing for a quick hug and kiss.  Pretty cute.


Did I mention Max is fond of hats?  He's wearing both his and Mommy's hats.  I thought it was a particularly good look with the pacifier ("papaya") in his mouth.  

Max has been trying to distinguish between hats and hair lately.  I'm pretty certain he knows the difference but he has a couple of Fisher Price Little People who have plastic hair.  He points at that hair and says, "hat?"  Fair enough.  It certainly doesn't feel like hair.


I asked Max to get into his high chair for dinner.  Not a big feat.  He does this quite often.  On this occasion, a bib was sitting on his high chair.  When I brought his soup, he had put on his bib (as seen in photo above) and climbed into his high chair.  I like the twisted cape look.  Not effective as a bib but very heroic-looking nonetheless.
