Happy Guy!

O.K. so it is pretty obvious that Max loves his toys, but we just got him this new wooden toy at IKEA that has the blocks that slide around ont he wires. Well.....my little Mr. Inquisitive decided that he needed to figure out how this thing worked so he spent about an hour turning it and flipping it every which way to see if the blocks would ever actually come off and much to his chagrin, they did not! He is such a happy little guy and although it may seem like he has a few too many toys, he will sit there and take out each one, one at a time, and play with it. And in case you have not noticed yet, he is quite a little HAM when the camera comes out! We sure do love this little (o.k. - not so little) guy! 2 1/2 more weeks and he will be a year old....where does the time go???

Chocolate chip pancakes...YUMMY!!!!

I usually make pancakes on Saturday morning if we don't have anywhere to rush off to. Most times they are plain or I add some fresh berries, but once in a while for a treat I add chocolate chips which Eric loves. Well.....Max is definitely a Neal Boy because I gave him one piece that had just 2 choc chips in it and he went nuts! We don't give him sweets so this was quite a treat for him. Who knew one little person could make such a mess with only 2 choc chips!
