Jordin and I have been trying to find fun things to do lately. I like to cook and bake so we have been having a lot of fun with that.
We made pretty and handsome pancakes for breakfast one morning. They are pretty for girls and handsome for boys…say Jordin.
The finished product!! We had so much fun!!
We also got to check out the Scarborough Faire and have a few get together while the Boston Giffs were here.
The Scarborough Faire was a lot of fun. The first stop was face painting.
Cole and Jordin got to go on an Elephant ride…I was not so sure about this but we escaped without injury.
We then watched a jousting show. The boys thought this was pretty awesome,
We walked around a little after that and found a ride that the kids wanted to go on.
We saw a very pretty fairy…She gave them all little fairy rocks.
shortly after this the Boston Gifford’s had to leave. Alli got way overheated. They are not used to this Texas heat. We stayed and had lunch and left after that. It was a great day but very hot!

The Boston Gifford's made it into town this summer again for a two week visit before heading to New York. We had so much fun with them. We really enjoyed watching the kids play and interact with Max. Alli and Avery thought he was so cute. We got to go on a few outings with them while they were here and enjoyed every minute of it.The first thing we did with everyone was head to the Dallas Zoo…Here are a few pictures.
Max was less than thrilled with the crocodile.

After the zoo we headed to Mimi’s( Natalie’s mom) house to play on the slip and slide and to celebrate Avery’s 2nd birthday.
Go Cole!!
Way to go Alli!!
Woo Hoo Jordin!!
Avery did not go down the slip and slide but she did love the pool :)
We finished the day by having cake and ice cream with Avery for her birthday. Grandmother made an awesome Minnie mouse cake.
Happy Birthday sweet Avery
We had a little get together with a lot of good friends in celebration of the Boston Gifford’s being here. We love getting everyone together.
We had our first zoo trip of the season a couple of weekends ago. It was also Max’s very first zoo trip. We had a great time. The weather was beautiful and we all felt great.

Max enjoyed his first zoo trip!

He was a little nervous to touch the snake.
Jordin loved the camel ride.
Max was curious about everything.
We are returning to the zoo in a few weeks with the Boston Gifford's and are looking forward to getting some great pictures and spending some time together.
May 8th 2010 – Max is Four months old!!
Milestones achieved so far this month have been:
Max loves to stand, he will stand all day if you let him. He smiles at us when he sees us coming. He jabbers and oohhs a lot. He can completely hold his head up on his own and sits up with little assistance. He reaches out for anything you put in front of him and if he gets it it goes straight to the mouth.
At his four month check up, he was 15 pds 2.2 oz and was 25 and 3/8 inches long. He was in the 50 percentile for weight and 65 percentile for height. He unfortunately had to have shots again. He was not too thrilled with this. He kept looking at Greg like, "what the heck, dad?" (because he was the one that had to hold him down) We got the go-ahead to introduce rice cereal at 5 months and veggies 2 weeks later. We will definitely let everyone know how that goes.
