Generation 1 (Part 2)

When we last left off…
Max Bennet was born. He’s a musical, albeit clumsy, baby. ;)

alejandrotheanchovy

Chris goes fishing at the beach (like always) and catches his first perfect fish! It’s an anchovy. Its name is Alejandro. Alejandro the anchovy. Word.

lizfeedingmax

Liz is overjoyed with her son. She’s constantly feeding, changing, and loving Max on instinct. Like every mother should!

lizchrisfreetime

Liz and Chris spending some alone time together after a long day.

cheriandhorses

Any alone time Cheri gets, she uses to play with horses. They’re practically attached at the hip!

maxbdaytoddler

Max ages up into a toddler! I say he’s pretty darn cute. He has Dad’s eyes and facial features, but Mom’s hair coloring. Quite an adorable mix. There was a birthday party, but all of the guests were too enraptured by Thornton Wolff’s facial hair and guitar playing to watch Max blow out the candles! Oh well.

cheribdayteen3

It was also Cheri’s birthday on the same day! She looks so much like her Dad! But she definitely needs a makeover. No worries. I can handle that. Cheri rolled handy as her fourth trait.

cheriwrench

Cheri with her makeover, throwing her wrench around. Because, you know, she always keeps a wrench in her back pocket. Because she’s handy. Duh. -Ends sarcasm-. The great thing about Cheri: she upgrades everything to self-cleaning. It’s fantastic.

maxteachwalk

Liz teaches Max how to walk. Hot dog shirt!

cherisamtalk

Cheri and Sam Sekemoto (the little toddler Leighton Sekemoto was holding in Gen 1 – Part 1!) are becoming fast friends. Perhaps it will escalate to a bit more? I don’t know, he looks like a girl to me. Heh.

maxbear

Poor Wugglesworth?

chrisrunbeach

Chris runs down the beach to his next fishing spot.
“Live. Breathe. Fish.”

lizadult

Liz ages into an adult. She’s not exactly happy about nearing old age! Wrinkles? What? Where?

cheriandjared

Cheri decides to obsess (just a little… okay a lot) over Jared Frio. She thinks about him all the time–even when she’s upgrading toilets! There are three problems with Jared Frio. 1. He’s an adult, almost elder. 2. His earing is creepy. 3. He has Thornton facial hair. Aaaah!!

chrisageadult

Chris ages into an adult! So, his cheekbones are a bit darker. He’s still a handsome guy.

maxandchris

Max and Chris. They make quite the adorable pair. All those fish in the background are Chris’s part of Chris’s perfect aquarium LTW. He has 6/13 species now… I feel like they’re everywhere!

maxagekid

The very next day Max ages into a kid! He looks just like his father, despite the blond. He rolls light sleeper as his third trait (making it virtuoso, clumsy, and light sleeper).

maxfirstpaint

Max decides he wants to learn how to paint, so I buy a VERY expensive easel for his room ($300 – jeez!).

cheriandmichel

Cheri and Michel Hart are apparently a thing. I didn’t notice until they started cuddling at his house. Michel is well… erm… uh… Cheri seems to like him

michelphone

…but the second Cheri left to go home Michel was on the phone with another girl!! If you couldn’t tell by his outward appearance (I sure couldn’t) the boy’s a playa.

maxcherihw

Max and Cheri trying to help each other do homework (it isn’t going to work – they both have foul marks in school in the homework department).

aquarium

A whole room for Chris’s fish.
