4 Months / Week 18 / Mariah's visit

 


tried again with another outfit - still no smile - just a cute 'I'm holding my hands together' face :)

 
TALKER!!
 

puzzles with Mariah


A day in the city




and a ferry to Manly



 
 
We had a GREAT shopping day in Manly (Max slept the whole time!). Lovely lunch at the wharf bar, then headed back to our car to go pick up Genna from school!

What Max did for most of the day :)
Fun at home in front of our new pool fence

Beach day! chubby guys and clothes don't go together!

Spot Mariah & Murray in the water!

Sleepy boy

Park time with Mariah


She LOVED her head towel!
There seems to be a theme here - he's a good napper :)

He's loving learning how to eat :)
He got upset on our way home from a beach day, Mariah gave him her finger and he immediately calmed down and fell back asleep - ahhhhhh

and gorgeous!
SUCH a happy man
