Max’s First Trip

On December 11th, Max took his first plane flight; a long one to Orange County, California to see lots of family and friends. He was a great flyer and had lots of fun at his grandparents’, where he met some very important people…
 
His twin cousins Sophie and Breanne. They don’t quite understand how to play gently (or that you’re not supposed to eat rabbit pooh you find at the park), so they were allowed to look but not touch. They liked to point at him and say ‘baby,’ one of their first words. They are one year older than Max; it is hard to believe he will ever be that big.

Turkey Time

Most of Brittney’s family (her parents, all four siblings, and one brother-in-law) came from around the world to NYC for Thanksgiving week. Activities included taking Max to a Holiday Fair and the Metropolitan Art museum, seeing Broadway shows (without the baby), eating great food, and, of course, lots of snuggling and playing with the newest member of the family.

He continues to grow, as you can see from these photos, taken a week apart:
10 weeks old
If you want more, we uploaded a gazillon photos from the week.

Halloween

For Halloween, we had to do something with Max’s abundant hair, so we made him a punk rocker.

 
Rain put a damper on the trick-or-treating, but we had fun dressing him up.

Max has been taking lots of walks/strolls in Central Park while the weather allows. On the way home visiting Mark at work one day we had a photo shoot. As you can see, he is getting more wide-eyed and curious about the world each day.Of course, we took lots more photos you can view here.
