Maxwell Ryan Bettan

Born August 28, 1995

Hi, my name is Max and this website is all about me. I am now 2 years old. I have just become a big brother. My baby sister is named Gabby and she was born August 12. I like her, but she cries a lot. In fact, I call her "Gabby Crying". I also just became a cousin. You can see a great picture of me playing in the dirt at my uncle Rich's house shortly after Brian was born. But enough about them, they can have their own websites, this one is all about me!!

I have my own room. My daddy is a big Dallas Cowboy fan, so he painted my room silver and blue. He also painted an open dome on the ceiling, just like the real stadium. I like to watch football with my dad, but he yells to much. This picture is of me standing in front of my easel. I like to draw. I can’t really draw to much, but I like to draw all over my walls and my furniture. This is why I am not allowed to have my crayons anymore. I am allowed to draw on my little tablet that erases by lifting the page.

I know all my ABCs and I can count to 20. I can also count backwards from 10 to Zero to Blast OFF!!! I love looking at and playing with letters and counting. My favorite thing is to go shopping with my mommy and look at all the big signs.

I have lots of books. I used to eat my books, but I don’t anymore, so I am allowed to read them whenever I want. My favorite authors are Dr. Suess and P.D. Eastman. I like to read ABCs, The Cat in the Hat, Hop on Pop, Go Dog Go and Are You My Mother. I know most of them by heart. I find that these books are best read about 5-10 times in a row, to best get the full impact of the story. I think I may be able to read. I can spell several words, and I also can unspell them too. This makes it very difficult for my parents. It’s hard to keep a secret from a little kid when he knows how to spell. My parents are thinking about learning French.

Here are some of the words I can spell and read:

My daddy has made a video clip of me spelling some of these words. You will need to have the ViVo Active player for your browser. In case you don't, here is where you can get it.

I like to watch videos. My favorite ones are Barney live in Radio City, Seasame Street Rock & Roll, Winnie The Pooh & Tigger, and Dr. Suess ABC. MY parents think I watch to many videos, but they also know that its a good way to keep me busy. I guess you call this a parental dilemma.

I like music to. I really like Rock & Roll and the Blues. Right now my favorite song is Jimi Hendrix Foxy Lady. I walk around the house singing "Foxy, Foxy Lady, Here I come, Commin to GETCHA!!!". I also love Mustang Sally. You can see a video clip of me singing and dancing to it when I was just 18 months old. It is really cute. I guarantee you will love it.

Here are some of my favorite songs:

Well, there you have it, all about me. You can check out my picture gallery to see pictures of me since I was born. My video section includes video of me taking some of my first steps and a clip that many people think would be a surefire winner on that Home Video TV show.
