My Loves

Maximus laughed for the first time last night. Mason was singing a silly song to him and he let out his first giggles. I am so in love with those two handsome boys. I cant wait to hear those sweet giggles again.

Our 1 year Anniversary

It was Mason and mines 1 year anniversary last Sunday the 23rd. Since we have a 2 month old cute face, we decided to do a fun picnic in the park for lunch. We went and got take-out at this really yummy Vegan cafe called Juicy Ladies. I got a delicious "burger" and mason got and avocado and hummus wrap we also got some really good chocolate vegan brownies. It was so nice to just sit in the park and eat our lunch and talk. Max slept most of the time and then when he woke up we took some family pictures via self timer :). Then for dinner we made a special meal we had picked up at trader joe's the day before, we had cooked artichokes, tomato pesto flatbread, and mushroom turnovers. we ate dinner while watching the series finale of LOST. We then had our year old wedding cake, lemon poppy seed, it was still delicious. So it turned out to be a wonderful fun anniversary.

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband. Mason is so sweet and kind and thoughtful. He is an amazing father and Max loves him soooo much. This year of marriage has gone by so fast, but has been so eventful. I got pregnant, we went to Europe, we welcomed our baby boy into our family. I feel like Mason and I know each other so well. We have had some of the best adventures together. I love the feeling when he holds my hand and kisses my head. He took me to Disneyland for my first time and We lived in New York together for a year and had plenty of awesome adventures. Our nights sitting on the swings in riverside park and late dinners at the Tom's Diner. Movies at the theater on West 69th street. Walking through central park and discovering cool new areas. Seeing Hamlet in Shakespeare in the park. Late nights waiting for the Staten Island Ferry. I love my Mason so much, he truly is my best friend anywhere I go I want to be with him and share every experience together. I feel like we always have the best times together just laughing at stupid things and talking. I love that we got to add our little Maximus to our family and share our love with him. I look forward to the many more years together and adventures to come.

My sexy husband

2 Months Old

My baby Maximus is already 2 months old. I know everyone says they can't believe it when there baby grows, and now I know how they feel. He has gotten so much bigger and more into toys like rings he can shake. He has always been very alert but he looks more intrigued by things now.

Here are some things Max loves at 2 months:
-skin to skin with daddy
-his bouncer chair and babbling to the dangling toys.
-cuddling with mommy
-daddy walking around with him over his shoulder
-being on his changing table
-looking at his sailboat picture
-getting A&D rubbed on his bum
-bath time

Here are some new things Max has started doing:

-putting his fists in his mouth
-smiling and talking a lot
-holding onto toys and kinda shaking them
-turning on his side
-sleeping on his side with his head at far back as it will go(this looks funny)
-getting a bit better with his head control


I love my little Maximus and watching his cute personality come out.He does the cutest things and melts my heart every time he smiles at me, it makes me want to just squeeze him! I feel so lucky to have him.
I love you my sweetheart.
Here is a video of him 2 months old:

Matt & Emily's Wedding

Mason and I were planning on going to his cousin Matt's wedding but then we got the news that his mom and grandma were sick and we were planning on going to his grandparents as a halfway point down to the wedding in Carlsbad, CA. Because we didn't want little Max getting sick we decided against going to his grandparents for the night. We were debating on even going to the wedding since it would be a 2 1/2 hour drive with Max and with maybe sick people there. So Saturday morning we were thinking of not going, then last minute we decided to try it. so we quickly packed up and got ready and headed out. Max ended up being very good on the car ride down and it was so nice to see everyone. we got a picture of the four generations with Max, that was really neat. And one with all 5 M.C.M's. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it but Matt and Emily's wedding photographer did so hopefully we can get a copy. I am sad we didn't get to talk to the happy couple because we were visiting with people outside and before we knew it they were off on their honeymoon. Afterwards we went with Masons family back to his grandparents(I guess it wouldn't have hurt to go there in the first place) and spent the night there and headed home on Sunday. So it ended up being a nice weekend being able to see family and show them Max for the first time.We didn't get any pictures of Matt and Emily but plenty of Maximus :)

5 weeks old!

Max is five weeks old today, I cant imagine life without him now. It has only been five weeks but feels like he has been here longer and yet I cant believe he is five weeks old and he is getting bigger and bigger. I cant wait till he starts to laugh and coo more but at the same time I don't want him to get so big. He loves to sleep on my chest and I just love it too, he always grabs my shirt with his little hand and I love it! So he and I had a great hour nap yesterday and here is a picture I love that Mason took of us.

Olá do Brasil

Mason's boss' wife is from Brazil so they went there for a month and when they came back they brought Max the cutest little outfit from Brazil. So to say thank you I took some pictures of him in the outfit and sent them a email.

Photo shoot with Mommy

When we got Max's newborn pictures taken I wanted more natural poses then what the lady did, I mean we got some great pictures of him but I wanted to try and see if I could get some good pictures of him more natural. So here is a few of my try at it.

Grandma is here, and Max's first bath

Mason's mom came out got to come out the 26th of March so Max was 8 days old, she was there for his birth but she had to leave the day after so it was nice for her to be able to have her time with him. She was an awesome help and it was so nice to have her here. She gave Max his first bath in the sink and took him to get his newborn pictures. So here are some pictures with Max and his grandma.

Time with Nona

My mom got to stay with us for a week after Max was born and was such a big help. Max would fall into such a deep sleep in her arms and she made us some delicious meals. Max loves his Nona.

Max comes home

So after our 2 day stay at the hospital Mason and I were very ready to take our baby home and be in our own bed. We him all dressed in his going home outfit, I got wheeled out to the car and we drove home with our new little family. It was so nice to finally be home and not be pregnant anymore and have Max in my arms. The first night went great Max is a good sleeper at night, so we just wake up about every three hours change his diaper and feed him.

Chillin' at home

Maximus Conway Morris is born

We welcomed our beautiful baby boy on Wednesday, March 17th 2010 at 6:02pm. He weighed 8 pounds 15.7 ounces and was 20inches long. I started having contractions at 12:00am, we went to the hospital at 2:00am. I was contracting but not dilating so they gave me a slow drip of pitocin and then some morphine to help me sleep. I started dilating and after a lot of contractions and holding back the incredible urge to push I was at 10 and they moved me into the delivery room and I was ready to push him out. After an hour of pushing(felt like 10 min to me though) out came my adorable sweet baby boy. He knew mine and Masons voices right away, Mason said "Hey buddy it's your dad" and he turned right to him and looked at Mason. I could not believe we had our baby I was so out of it after all the labor. It was nice to go to our hospital room and rest and look at our gorgeous little baby.
