Max started to come down with a little something last Thursday. The only way we knew was because he pooped four times that day instead of his usual one or two.
Then Friday, same thing. Only by Friday he also had diaper rash. Wow does that come on quickly!
Since then he’s been running around naked while we chase him cleaning up pee and poo. Doctors orders. That’s how you get rid of diaper rash best. You air it out.
So we are all suffering a little due to diaper rash. We can’t put max in his play area or bouncer or walker or anything really while he’s naked because the pee will get all over whatever he’s in.
I think Max is loving this time. He now gets to do just what he always wants to do — crawl around the whole house and explore everything while we chase him cleaning up any messes along the way.
It’s very time consuming to be constantly following around his cute little baby butt. But it’s good practice for when he’s walking because then too we’ll be constantly chasing and watching.
And that time is coming soon. Very soon.

Why is 51% of the population female yet women hold less than 3% of all CEO positions at Fortune 500 companies? I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know I’d like to see more women hold CEO positions. And my friend Shelli has created a great program for making that come true.
StartUpGirl is a FREE event for girls ages 11-17. They get to learn from some amazing women mentors and have the opportunity to pitch their very own business idea. Three girls will be chosen to receive $3,000 – $5,000 and an online storefront to start their business! No, they don’t win a CEO position, but participating in this may be just what jump starts their career in that direction.
The event is soon – so don’t miss out – for more details visit: www.StartUpGirlEvents.com
Imagine listening to the State of the Union address with his voice. Imagine that steely look on campaign ads and while he shaking hands with other world leaders.
The best part of the superbowl for me was Clint Eastwood’s Chrysler ad. I mean, who would you want to represent YOU? Clint would be at the top of my list.
Of course there’s controversy over what the “hidden political message” might be and the possible NFL copyright claim over the use of the use of the word “halftime”.
Let’s just focus on the fact that it’s a great ad for Chrysler. Can we please, for once, people?
My grandma — Max’s great grandma — the one I talk about here, had three fancy bibs made and sent to us here in CA from MN. Now Max can eat in style. I mean, dinner IS always a black tie blue tie event around here. Isn’t it at your house?

This is where Max unwraps his Walker. I’d like to say he looks so excited because he knows what it is, or because it’s such a big gift. But really he’s probably thinking about ALL THAT WRAPPING PAPER! And how he will crunch it, play with it and (try to) eat it!
And yup, this is the giver of this gift. She watches over Max when we are away. And sometimes when we are home too – so we can actually get something done! Or at least use both hands at once.
