...you just have to share mid-week. Max has been doing some amusing things for us this week, so we thought we'd let everyone else in on the fun. The video is actually from a week or two ago, but the photo was taken just this morning.

Okay, so we skipped a week. We've been very busy, leave us alone, there were ants, lots of them, some of them were on fire and had huge pointy fangs!

Yeah, bet you're sorry you were upset with us. You should have been concerned for our well being, but you're just selfish.

Seriously, sorry about missing an update. It's been a bit crazy the last two weeks, but we'll make up for it with a slew of videos and pictures this week. Starting...

After our 4th of July outing, we spent a good while just trying to recover. We had an ant infestation to deal with (which is as of yet unresolved) which resulted in a full-on clean out of most of our kitchen. Max, of course, was completely unfazed by any of this. He's continued working on crawling, but doesn't quite have it down yet. While working on that, of of course, he's provided us with some more photo ops.

I finally sat down and did the legwork to get our collection of Seattle videos online. We spent an awful lot of time shooting video out there, but I was able to pare it down to the bare essentials for the viewing public. Expect a Collector's Edition DVD next year sometime (with bloopers!).

Bet you didn't think we could do it, did you. "Four blog posts in one week?" you said. "Not a chance!" you said...or at least I imagine you might say if you sounded like the voice in my head. All I have to say to you is...well, actually, all I have to say right now is, "I'm sleepy." 10pm is apparently very late for an aging dad such as myself, so I'll get on with it.

Max turned 8 months old on Sunday, which of course meant that we had to do a new round of photos to show everyone how he's growing. This time around we've included a little bonus.

After last week's barrage of posts, we're finally back on our regular posting schedule. Even with all the posting we still managed to miss out on a few of the events over the last week, plus some new stuff had to go and happen over the weekend so we have to cover that, too. Blogging is hard work, I tells ya.

Onward!

As promised, today we'll be posting a video we took yesterday. What could it be? Eating? Nope. Playing? Nope. Sleeping in a weird position? Nah. Working on a doomsday device? Maybe.

You'll just have to look and see.

Max has had quite a week for himself. He's continued to pursue his goal of pressing a few more teeth through his gums (four so far). He perfected the art of sticking his tongue out at people. He nearly perfected his middle finger, which he's been showing to everyone whether we like it or not. He spent hours and hours in the car. He spent hours and hours in The Woodlands with his four cousins.

Like I said, quite a week. That's also why we had a little delay in our blogging this round. Luckily it was only delayed for a day this time. I think we'll just let the photos speak for themselves from here on out.
