Max eating liver pate and black bread

Max ate liver pate and black bread(both are mandatory if you want to be Danish) for the first time the other day. He loves to eat finger foods but he is quite messy about it. He gets more on his clothes and on the floor than he does in his mouth!

Get off the phone, Daddy!

Who are you talking to, Daddy? Shouldn't you be playing with me?
Get off the phone and play with me or I will pull all your hair out!
It worked! Daddy got off the phone for me! I love my Daddy.
Big Bendix and Little Bendix!

Max's first soccer game

I had a great time at my first soccer game. Daddy and I enjoyed our "beers" together!
I got a little scared when it got loud. People really get excited at these things! But I was happy to be snuggled in on my Daddy's lap with my pacifier.
Here I am with my two favorite people!
Mommy and me!
Maybe someday that will be me out there!!! Or maybe I will be a swimmer...or a cyclist...or a basketball player...or.....

Max's first soccer game (cont.)

Faster(Aunt) Stinne is a big soccer fan(she's the one with the hat on). You can also see Daddy's cousin Soren and his wife Dorte. You can kind of see Lene(Daddy's other cousin's(Anders) girlfriend).
I love my Uncle Bamse(teddy bear in English) and my cousin Thilde!
Cousin Tobias always takes good care of me!

Max is on the move- FOR REAL!!!

Who says it gets easier? Now that Max is crawling and pulling himself up, I REALLY get nothing done! I have to watch him all the time. He gets into EVERYTHING!! I don't know what I did to my parents when I was a child but I am getting it back big time!

Ready for football season! Go Noles!

Max has his Seminole gear ready for football season. Thank you Uncle Chad for the t-shirt! And thank you Aimee for the hat and sippy cup! Go Noles!!!!!!

Max and Kajsa

Max doesn't like to eat but he was sure interested in what Kajsa was having!
Max loves to have Kajsa over to play!
"Get out of my way, Max!" A girl who knows what she wants!

Max meets his "2nd" cousin Anna

Max met his 2nd cousin, Anna, for the first time. She is 9 months old. She is Thomas' cousin Peter's daughter. Even though Anna outweighs Max by almost 6 1/2 pounds, he wasn't afraid to help himself to her toys! Max weighs 18 1/2 pounds and Anna weighs 25 pounds. Yes, they are only a month and a half apart!!!!

They played well together and shared their toys. I've found that Max always likes other babies toys more than his own. The grass is greener on the other side even for babies!

Cousin Jakob's Confirmation

On Friday Max's cousin Jakob was confirmed in the church. It was a great day! Max loved it because there was so much to do and see! Needless to say, he was a very tired little boy at the end of the day.Congratulations, Cousin Jakob! Here is Max with Jakob. Jakob got a bowl of "cool cash"(coins frozen in ice) so Max helped him get the money. Be careful, Jakob, Max might take a little for himself!
"I'll just wait until no one is looking then I will pocket some of this. No one will ever know!"
Cousin Thilde is so good with Max! We wish she lived closer!
Max was well taken care of! Mommy barely got to hold him all day!
