::highlights week six::

I'm very annoyed that I wasn't able to post this yesterday. The power went out last night just as I was sitting down to do it. I'll probably say more about that in a post later. Last night was kind of a comedy of errors, but just not that funny.

Anyway, I'm postdating it to yesterday just to make me feel better.

Week SIX already? Yikes. He's getting huge. This baby is ginormous. Not so much fat as just big and substantial!
Max actually gets to kick off today's highlights. He was just so cute coming home from church in his button-up and Christmas sweater. Adorable.

I had Sandy at home with me during church, and we were wrapping Christmas presents. He evidently thought that was pretty boring.

He's actually in his church clothes too since he and I went to Sacrament meeting and then escaped the den of contagion for home.

Next, more Max and Sand pictures. I just can't help but take them. They're so cute together and the comparison of Max's big kidness and Sandy's babyness are just irresistible, at least to me.

This is the face Max usually makes when he has to hold his screaming brother. "Um, can somebody please help?"
But then Sandy grabbed his finger, and he LOVES that.

And so baby earned himself a kiss.

Then another Sandy on the floor picture.

Extra cute since he's awake, right?

Christmas Eve:
I posted one of these already. We waited all day for Sandy to wake up enough to take a picture of the boys in their Christmas sweaters together. But he never did. Then the sun started setting so we just had to go for it. They're so cute.

And Christmas day, taking a poor nap in his moses basket in the living room while we had fun.

Quite the eventful week for such a sweet small guy. And the rest of us too. Week seven is almost over now. Can somebody tell the train to slow down??

Do you remember when we were driving home from the beach and Max was covering his ears because Grant was screaming??!! That picture of Max holding Sandy reminds me of that :) Cute cute boys!

I totally remember that Melissa! That's so funny. It was good training for Max.
Now he just likes to cry along with the baby and it drives me NUTS. I'm always wondering why I'm so stressed out during the crying, well it's because it's DOUBLE!

sigh.... it doesn't slow down. It just gets faster and faster! Two years and Brennan is gone...

Rachel is right, of course. In a week, M is gone for five months. And he just got back from his mission two days ago. Wasn't it two days? And really, I think I was holding him when he was Sandy just about three years ago. Was it that long? So sorry. I obviously have no influence.

who gave Max that sweater - sixty percent off at Penney's two years ago. Hmmm? Not bad. Not bad at all for an oldish silly woman. He looks striking. Freaking handsome. And that twosome - almost too much cool good-lookingness to handle all at once.

I'd have held him during Christmas mayhem - Andy was too awake to do much holding. We missed you BAD.

I held him for 99% of the day. Too much probably. We've been trying to get him to sleep in his own bed which is hard, so we thought bringing his bed out to us would help. He at least slept in it for a while. Then I grabbed him again. He's prettymuch irresistible to me!
