The Oldroyd Family

Back in May, my whole family met & Schlitterbaun Water Park in New Braunfels, TX, for our 2011 Family Vaykay.  It was awesome but the weather on the 1st day was less than ideal.  Because of this, the park gave us each a "bounce back" pass.  So on Tuesday, night, we packed up our little family & headed back to New Braunfels. We stayed in the same hotel so Nathan & Alexa were a little confused as to why Grandpa, Grandma & their aunts, uncle & cousins weren't there!  We spent all day Wednesday & Thursday at the park having a great time!  The kids did really well & it was a total blast to just relax & have fun together as a family. There are a couple of experiences I want to record for journaling sake: 1.  The downside of going with just our family is there was no way for Sam & I to ride the big rides.  We were ok with that but decided on the first day to take a tube ride as a family.  ...

Height : 33.25 in (94th %) Weight : 22 lbs. 1 oz (15th %) Head : 19.5 in (95th %) A Little About our Maxwell: His gross motor skills are improving slowly but surely.  He gets around just fine scooting so I don't think he'll ever crawl but hopefully walking will come sometime soon! He jabbers a lot & makes a lot of sounds.  He definitely says mama & dada.  Occasionally he'll say ball, binky, or baba.  He also learned to say Ellie (Aunt Marianne's dog) and calls all puppies "Ellielliellie" by rolling his tongue around. He loves to push cars & trucks around & say "Vroom Vroom" Just like his brother, he has a wicked arm & has been known to throw cars at point blank range. (Ouch!) Gets really ornery when teething but otherwise is the happiest kid around. Takes really long afternoon naps (sometimes 4 hours) Often says, "YAY!" and laughs when I'm taking him into his bed for a nap or bed time. Is now comp...

And I love this cute face! Max keeps himself occupied lately by scooting from room to room.  He's usually playing with one of three things: Books, cars or balls.  This kid loves the simple life.  He really is the best.  How did I get so lucky? P.S.  I know his hair is too long.  And I simply refuse to cut it.
