I'm eating a lemon.

A Top.


Hey! Guess what? I learned something new yesterday.
I figured out how to spin around in circles until I get dizzy and fall down.
This is a very fun way to spend a day!
Mom, Dad and I had a good laugh!

Citrullus Lanatus of the Family Cucurbitaceae

This is my very first watermelon. (I thought that it was a ball!) I didn't know what I was supposed to do with it.
So... I sat with my watermelon.
I sat on my watemelon.
Then Dad told me it was to eat. (I didn't know that I had to wait until it was cut open!)
I took a taste... mmm, yummy!
This stuff is pretty messy, though!

Cookin' with My Mom.


Look out Lagasse, Puck, Ray, Child, Batali, Beard, Yan, Flay, Florence, Samuelsson, all of the Iron Chefs, and the naked one.

Rocks


I have a thing or two to tell you about...rocks.

Sometimes you have to push them around a bit.

Sometimes they need to be mowed.
And, sometimes, they just need a little ambiance.
(Thanks for the bubbles, Dad!)

Before and After


Well folks, it had to happen someday. I love my little curls, but they were starting to look...well, unruly.

So with a little bit of trepidation (please note that I am chewing my buddy for comfort) I let Mom trim my hair.

As my locks fell to the floor, I felt an odd sense of lightness.
After a few moments of consideration, I decided that...
I like it!
Consider my very first haircut a hit!

My Yesterday.

We went for a drive on scenic Highway 12 because it was too windy for a hike.

We saw some pretty red desert flowers.

It was a really exciting day.

It's Maxon, the Easter Buddy!

The Easter Bunny got an awful cold yesterday. He just didn't feel up to doing his duty. I was really suprised when I got his call! I never dreamed that I would be dealt so much responsibility so young. I did my best to fill his big shoes.
(Do you think child labor laws apply to holiday icons?)
Once I had removed my ears, I could go hunting for eggs.
No one helped me and I found six!
I have to admit that I was pretty proud of myself and my egg hunting prowess.
Of course I got an Easter basket that had lots of goodies, but my favorite thing was my piggy bubble blower.
Well, I hope that you all have a superfantastic Easter.
I'm outta here!
(Boing! Boing! Boing!)

It's a Hot Day!

Perfect for a frozen juice pop.

Mmmm! How refreshing!

The Quest for Teddy!

Snacktime is so totally rad
especially with my Mom and Dad.
They always give me tasty treats
that wind up on my face and feets.
So when this graham landed on my chest
the way I got it was the best!

Maxon Gets a Facial!

An oatmeal facial!
They say it makes your skin baby soft.
Ah, this is GREAT!

Color Country!

We hiked a little in Kodachrome Basin the other day.
This park, named by the National Geographic Society, is known for its colors and its spires and sand pipes.
While we were there I made a couple of new friends.
This is Tatum (she was a few months older than me) and this is little Mr. Lizard.
This is us in front of what we called "doody rock" because it looks like doody!
Dad kept a little piece for a souvenier!

Playin' Outside!

Well...It was a beautiful day in God's country. 63 and sunny to be exact. Mom and Dad gave me an industrial size spoon and a bucket and told me to "go to town".
I think this is going to be a great summer!
My Dad is a pro when it comes to playing in the dirt. I was carefully watching and taking mental notes.
Mom picked me up this whirlythingamajig (pretty good word for 14 months huh?). I am learning how to blow on it to make it spin. I'm getting the hang of it, but it is much more fun to tear it apart!

DJ Maximus Musicus

Oh Yeah!

Dad likes to call this picture Two Turntables and a Microphone because he thinks that I look like a DJ!
What do you think?

CO2+Max=FUN!

I had lots of fun playing with Grandma W. the other day! She let me try some pop rocks. These are a few of the funny faces I made.
What the...?
Hmmn...
Uhhh...

We also played a little game of Peek A Boo.

It sure was a hoot!
