Maxwell Ryan Bettan

Born August 28, 1995

Hi, my name is Max and this website is all about me. I am now 3 years old.

My parents are the coolest! They just built my sister Gabby and me the worlds greatest playroom. My dad got the idea for a mural from a T-Shirt he bought outside a Grateful Dead concert in Las Vegas before I was even born. They found this really great artist named Paula who played with me while she painted it. She even let me help a little!! This is a picture of the mural she designed and painted along the wall of our playroom. We just love it!!


I am really into the Rolling Stones. When I go over to PeePaws (Gandpa's) house he puts on the concert video from last years tour. I love it! He made me a copy of it and now I can watch it at my house. I listen to the Stones all the time. In the car, in my room when I go to bed and downstairs in my playroom. For my Burthday PeePaw and Grandma got me a microphone. Now I can run all over the house and sing my favorite Stones songs for Mommy, Daddy and Gabby!!

My parents think I am pretty amazing. I have a very good memory and I learn stuff really fast. I've been doing my ABCs and counting since I was 18 months old. Now that I am 3, I know some really cool stuff!!

I can build puzzles of the United States all by myself. My favorite States are Tennessee, Wisconsin, Texas (were the Cowboys live) and Florida (where my Nana lives). I can also recite most of the States in alphabetical order.

My daddy thought that if I know reading, and geography, that he would teach me about science. I know all 9 planets in our solar system and all about different dinosaurs. My favorite planets are Neptune and Mars, and my favorite dinosaurs are the thunder lizard Brontosaurus and Triceritops ( but I also like Tyrannasaurus Rex, Brachiasaurus and Stegasaurus).

I still love books, and I don't eat them anymore. But know that I am a big kid I like to play games too, like Candy Land and Hi Ho Cherry-O. I still like to play with my mega blocks and trains. One of my Favorite new toys is a kitchen set my Aunt Harriette & Uncle Murray got for Gabby & me. It is really cool. I have all kinds of stuff to go with it. Maybe someday I'll get my own cooking show on TV! BAM!!

I have very exciting news. my sister Gabby is now 1 year old and she just learned how to walk!!! Click here to see her very first steps!!

You will need to have the ViVo Active player for your browser. In case you don't, here is where you can get it.

Gabby is 1 year and she has just started walking! She is starting to become a lot of fun. She likes to reach out and squeeze Daddy's and my nose. She is very smart too. She knows where her head, tounge, nose and eyes are. She can wave bye-bye and she can pick up her own cup of milk.

Gabby likes to play with my toys, mess up my room and rip up my books. I don't like that too much, but I guess its OK since I took all of her toys out of her room and put them in mine! I think it will be really fun once Gabby can walk and run around. Then I can teach her really cool stuff like falling down the stairs, climbing up on mommies dressing table and playing with her make-up and my favorite trick, emptying an entire roll of toilet paper into the potty. Oops! Speaking of potty, I think it's time for me to go!

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.
