I love these boys

Saturday evening we went for a walk on the beach and let Mason play in the sand. Things have been busy lately so it was nice to have some family time. I enjoy nothing more than being with my three boys.

Max is 10 months!

Max is still a sweet, sweet boy and is pretty busy these days. He is cruising around everywhere and loves to explore. He has gotten two teeth on the bottom and the two on the top are starting to break through. He loves to play catch, pat-a-cake, read books, dance, and chase after Mason. Oh, and I almost forgot. Max LOVES to eat. He will eat anything and everything, and he shovels it into his mouth with both hands. It is both funny and cute. A few pictures of what Max has been up to...

After Max gets out of the bathtub he likes to sneak in and watch Mason finish his bath. Mason plays and splashes and Max hits the side of the bathtub and squeals. We've had to change his wet pajamas numerous times, but it's worth it. They have so much fun together.

Teething! He'll chew on anything, even a couch.


Max loves to look through the basket of books in the living room and in his bedroom. It will entertain him for quite sometime.

Max gets really excited when he plays catch. Sometimes he rocks back and forth so much that he falls over.

Exploring

Playing with Mason's Hot Wheel's Battle Force. Some of the toys Max plays with are quite a bit different than what Mason played with at his age.

Worn out after a long day of playing.

Packed and ready...

I walked into Mason's room last night to find him packing his suitcase. When I asked him what he was doing he said, "I'm packing my suitcase for when Amelia comes to pick me up for our sleepover." He also said she was going to pick him up when he gets off of the airplane. It was really sweet. He loves that girl so much! Jackie, Catherine, Amelia and Ella came to visit last week, which I'm sure had something to do with it, but I'll post more on that later.

What happens when you ignore your children while playing a board game?

Mason and Amelia had some fun of their own with playdough while the adults were playing a game. The sad thing is that they were about two feet away from us when they did all of this. I'm just glad it wasn't on the carpet!

Snack Time

In order to occupy Max while I was getting ready the other morning I gave him a graham cracker, and Mason decided he wanted to join him. I thought they looked so cute cuddled together in the bathroom floor eating their crackers that I had to take a picture. I love those two boys so much!

Typical Evening in the Newberry Household

Jonathan playing guitar,

Max sucking on Jonathan's big toe,

and Mason pestering Max.

It doesn't get much better than this.

Dolphin Cruise

Last Saturday Jonathan took Mason on a Dolphin Cruise. Although they had fun, it wasn't quite as great as they thought it would be. There were a lot of boats out since it was the weekend, and the dolphins were staying deeper in the water. Jonathan said he felt a little dorky cruising by all of the really expensive boats in their boat plastered with "Dolphin Cruises." He really enjoyed the tour of the harbor, though, and Mason enjoyed drinking a strawberry smoothie, getting a toy out of the treasure chest, and getting to drive the boat.

The Harbor Walk where their boat left from.

Can you find the dolphin in the water?
