Max loves to help Bedstemor

Max loves being outside at Bedstemor and Bedstefar's house.

He helped Bedstemor with the flowers.

He loves to sweep!

This is a temporary sandbox. Next time we come over he will have a big one!

It's hard work helping Bedstemor. Gotta stop and have a drink!

Random videos of Max!

Max loves 80s music. Max is ready to compete in a race.

Just being silly. Max and his animal sounds.

Max celebrating Mommy's last day at work!

Max and I decided to celebrate that I am officially on maternity leave(as of yesterday) by eating ice cream! I can go back to being a full time mom and wife!!!! Now I have a few weeks to get ready for Baby Bendixen #2!!

Max loves Elmo!

Max loves Elmo and asks to watch his Elmo video all the time. Today he wanted to wear his Elmo slippers while watching Elmo. He's also wearing the pajamas that Cousin Laurie sent to him- Thanks Cousin Laurie!

He still loves to dance!

Max in the morning

I have been yelled at because it's been a month since I posted pictures of Max. Well, when you work full time and have to chase a toddler around WHILST carrying a bowling ball in your belly, it's hard to find time for anything other than trying to fit in as much sleep as possible. Anyway, I was at work yesterday morning and I checked my email. Thomas sent me this picture of Max and it made me smile all day! He loves his rain boots(a gift from our friends, Niels and Julie)! I will try to get some more pictures on here soon. Just 3 weeks left until I am on maternity leave! Yeah!!!!!

Max and David

Last weekend David(and his parents, Thomas and Susse) came over for dinner. The boys had a great time together. I should've taken a picture of the apartment after they were done with it. Needless to say, you had to be careful where you walked or you might step on a toy! The boys eating their fruit so peacefully. Max was eating blueberries and David was eating an apple.

Miraculously I got them both to look at the camera before they started climbing and jumping all over the couch.

Play time!!!!

Max on the beach in Florida

Max's first time walking in the sand was a little weird for him. He kept trying to pick up his feet so he didn't have to walk on it. These pictures are his second time on the beach(Siesta Key) and he was a little better. He still didn't want it on his hands so he used the shovel a lot.

He liked to keep his left hand up so it wouldn't touch the sand. If we tried to put sand on it he would shake it off.

Daddy and Max walking down to get some water.

Daddy and Max walking back from the water. Max is still a little unsure of the sand between his toes.

More of Max in Florida

I had to get a couple shots of Max in his Nikes!

This is his basketball outfit. He's ready to play!

In the hot tub with Daddy.

Max loves still loves to stand on the ledge between the pool and the hot tub.

Here is Max trying to scoop the water from the hot tub into the pool.

Max in his favorite chair and with Grandpa!

Little by little I am getting our Florida pictures on here. I haven't had much time these days for anything. There will be more pictures soon. The next couple pictures are of Max sitting in a high chair that is 68 years old! It was first used by my aunt Sandy and now Max is lucky enough to use it. It's both a high chair and a desk. They don't make them like this anymore, unfortunately! Max has his cell phone and laptop computer-just like Daddy!

No Max that's your cell phone not the remote control!

Max is finding his creative side with some crayons and paper.

Yeah! Grandpa is here to help!

Grandpa and Grandma bought Max his first set of golf clubs so Grandpa is showing Max how to swing. Tiger Woods has nothing on Max!

Max driving Uncle Lynn's golf cart

These next pictures and video are of Max driving my Uncle Lynn's golf cart. Max saw pictures of his cousin Katie riding in the golf cart and he was jealous! Thanks, Uncle Lynn, for letting us use your golf cart! Max is ready to drive!

Just a little help from Daddy.

Daddy, keep both hands on the wheel!

Max knows what he's doing...he doesn't need Daddy's help.
