My 1 Month Man

How does it happen? It doesn't seem possible that an entire MONTH has gone by since Max has arrived. We have had the best time getting to know our little man and his personality is starting to emerge (both the good and the not so good). The good = smiles, coos, and cuddle time. The not so good = he's a total momma's boy which makes it hard on everyone else who wants to love and cuddle him, he's kind of a fussy baby. Nonetheless, we love him to pieces and enjoy every part of his little baby personality.

Fall Fun

I love Fall leaves, colors, pumpkins, and of course Halloween fun! We have attended a few parties, with more to come this week, but here is the sneak peak for Halloween.

We have a busy week this week with school parties and trick or treating on Saturday, can't wait!!

Max Meets the Richey Girls

Max met Ashlie, Caitlyn, and Lauren last week and although my camera settings were all funky, I wanted to post the pictures of the beautiful Richey girls!

Ashlie & Max

Lauren, Caitlyn & Max . . . so sweet
The girls love babies and we were so happy they came for a visit.

Hope to see you again soon, the kids sure do miss each other!

Max's Baptism

Sooo many great pictures to share from Max's special day! We had beautiful weather, a delicious lunch, and although Max cried through the entire ceremony we had a perfect day with our family and best friends, the Woolmans.

And finally Monica got to hold Max without him crying.

He does love you, Monica!
Thank you to all of you who made this day so very special for Max and us, too.

Smiles!

Max has been smiling at me (and it's not just gas) all week, but I have been unable to catch him on camera . . . until today! It is truly amazing how much a mother loves her children because even after keeping me up ALL night I look at this boy and my heart melts.

Maxaroni and CHEESE :)

Love you little baby xoxo

Now Tim will have to believe me that he's been smiling at me!!!!

Play Date

Max has had a busy social calendar these first 3 weeks of his life and today was no exception. He entertained guests Amanda and Kyra as well as getting in his regular play time with his big brothers.

Just a day in the life of Mr. Max Aiden

Max enjoyed some quality ZZZ's while his play date Kyra (6 months) played with all of his toys

New Pics

Our little Max is enjoying life here at the O'Mara household and is spending more of his daytime hours awake! Since most of his pictures involve him sleeping I thought I would share a couple open eye photos of our little guy :)

I love this picture, but also have to laugh because from this angle he looks like

a bobble head doll, little baby, BIG head :)

His first stroller ride

Another sleeping picture, but this one is my favorite :)

Little Old Man look

Hi Guys!

Oh, and as a follow-up to my middle child big helper (who tells everyone he is smooth like butta) . . . he asked if he could butter his own toast this morning and this is the end result:
Heart Attack waiting to happen!!! I scraped all of it off, but he still got a nice dose of "butta".

Family & Friends

Max is one lucky baby to be born into this life with wonderful, loving family and friends. We would like to thank everyone who has sent cards, gifts, dinner, and those who have come to meet our newest family member. We are very thankful for your support and so happy to share our joy with all of you.

Blake, Bryce & Max say THANK YOU!!
