The Bendixen family

We love being at the condo. We have so much fun swimming in the pool.

Max loves to swim!

Max has a serious fascination with the water. He cries and gets mad when we take him out. I'm hoping he continues to love it as he gets older! Splashing Daddy!
I want to swim by myself, Daddy!
I think Daddy is about to pull me under the water...

Look at me climb the stairs by myself!

Max loves to swim!(cont.)

Grandpa and Grandma bought Max a swimsuit that has a built in floatie so he can swim by himself. It didn't quite work because he was a bit too small for it. Maybe next time!

Cousin Vanessa helped Max swim!
Max loved to play on the stairs.

Dane, Max and Abby

Max had a great time with his cousins, Dane and Abby. We think he has a crush on Abby!

Max and Murphy

Max had fun with his pal, Murphy. She is Great Aunt Sandy and Great Uncle Don's dog. Murphy had to be near Max whenever possible. Of course Max didn't mind because he loves animals!

Max eats a cupcake for the first time

Max's 2nd Cousin Laurie insisted that he have his first cupcake since she won't be with him for his first birthday. Needless to say, Max loved the cupcake! I think he's going to have the same sweet tooth that his Mommy has! Thank you Cousin Laurie!

Max meets his Great Uncle Don and Cousin Tim

Max is a world traveler! He visited his Great Uncle Don and Great Aunt Sandy in Kalama, Washington. He couldn't get enough of his Uncle Don. Every time Uncle Don came in the room Max held up his arms to be picked up by him! He also met his "2nd" cousin Tim. Max loved his hat!
