4th of July

This post is way, way late. But such is the life of a working mom.

Here's a just turned 5-month old Max. At 5 months, he recently learned to roll from his back to his front. But once he ends up on his front, he can't roll back.

Sometimes Jalen asks to "hold" Max. It ends up looking something like this. Here's our 4th of July photo shoot with their USA themed outfits. I only had a USA Gap hat for Max (Jalen's hand me down), so Jalen also wanted to wear his hat.

I love this picture because his eyes look so cute it reminded me of Puss in Boots from Shrek when he makes the cute face.

The 4th was a soggy day. It cleared up in the evening and we lit some fireworks at Kate and Garrett's house. Here's Jalen holding a 3-ft sparkler (just 4" shorter than Jalen). He liked the sparkler until the sparkles started getting closer to his hand. Then he didn't want it anymore. He also didn't like the noisy fireworks too much.
