I've finally uploaded a bunch of videos of Max from my phone to YouTube. Here they all are, for those among you who are interested in videos of Max being funny. Be forewarned that a couple of these are for serious Max fans only, as not a lot happens. I don't know why I'm apologizing. Enjoy.
1. Max and the Ho-Di-Ho Hat (previously posted on Facebook)
2. Max plays in the snow
3. Maisy makes a goal
4. Swinging with Nana Debbie
5. Advice for 9-month-old cousin Lily
6. Here's an old one I found on my computer, from the Summer of '11, when Max was about 7 months old.
Maxwell David Beukema was born December 28, 2010, 11:56AM, 7lbs even, 20" long. He's awesome and adorable and we love him dearly. Now almost 2 months old, he's been visiting tiny chunks of the outside world and starting to try to get things into his mouth with his hands and eating lots and passing the 10-lb mark and staring at one of the cats and and learning to smile at his parents and getting his first cold which is tragic and heartbreaking and sleeping face down on his parents but otherwise on his back because that's how you keep babies alive.
Max LOVES the animals that hang over his changing table. So, so much.
Max has a pretty pony rattle that velcros around his wrist. I bet you don't have a pretty pony rattle that velcros around your wrist.
