Playing with Max

My oldest brother Cody is a stud. He's a manly man that likes to hunt, work on cars, and build things and he's really good at doing them too. In January he was working on an addition for his house when the poor guy got his index finger and his thumb in the way of the table saw. It was a pretty scary experience. But he and his wife (who is also a stud) just attacked and adjusted in their typical studliness ways. Cody has managed to just figure it out and he doesn't complain about the fact that he is missing most of his index finger and the half of his thumb (on his right hand....he's right handed). I am sad that he had to go through this, but I am so amazed with him and I really look up to him. He is a fantastic older brother.

So, what does this have to do with playing with Max? Today Cody had a follow-up surgery. It was mostly cosmetic to be honest. They removed some excess scar tissue and removed a bone spur. And while he was snoozing in the operating room, Oliver, my mom and I got to play with Max. It was pretty great. Max is one of the smiliest kids I've ever met. He is super sweet too. And for one year olds, Ollie and Max seem to play pretty well together. We had a good time and we are all excited to see how pretty Cody's new nubs look now that they have been cosmetically enhanced :)

Walking into the OR. Lookin' good Cody!

Post Surgery. Lovin' your milky white shoulders :)

Meanwhile, at grandmas house:

Steam Roller anyone?

I have no idea what either of them are looking at

Max just sat himself on this chair....Oliver was placed there

I know this looks hazardous, but I had everything under control.....
