Max impersonating Bronco Quarterback Jay Cutler.Max is becoming more fun to be around - when he's happy he'll smile at everyone he sees - and he communicates better (or maybe we listen better) so we can differentiate between his moods. And when we do something wrong - feed him when he wants a diaper change, put him to bed when he wants to play - he gives us Jay Cutler Face.
Some background here: Jay Cutler is the quarterback for my hometown football team, the Denver Broncos. (Note to Romanian readers: This is American football, not the strange one where you bounce balls on your head.) Jay Cutler wants to be traded, and he wants every media outlet that exists to know. Perhaps you've read the story in Romania. He has said he felt betrayed after learning his coach discussed trading him, and was not happy when the coach said no one is untradeable. So, to summarize, he wants a trade because he's afraid he'll be traded. If that logic isn't watertight enough, we'll go further. He's afraid that his coach will blindside him with a trade that will send him packing to another city. However, the football team that will acquire his services will have to give the Broncos their own players, thereby blindsiding these players in a trade that will send them packing to Denver. Apparently Jay Cutler will then will trust his new team more than his current one.
Back to Max: Every day gives us plenty of opportunities to photograph Max's Jay Cutler face. But why is his face cut off in the headline photo? The answer is that Jay Cutler face is harder to capture than the Yeti.
He was not happy when we put him to bed last night - he rarely is - which gives us plenty of opportunities to capture Jay Cutler face. But here's how a few of them turned out:
3 failed attempts to capture Jay Cutler face.
To me, he looks more like he's about to be sucked into a flying saucer. Where did his fussiness go? That's when I tried pointing the camera at me and activating it. At this moment, a brilliant high-wattage orange spotlight shot from the camera, temporarily hypnotizing me. I think it's some red eye reduction thingie. Now I know why I can't get Jay Cutler Face on camera, and for that matter, why I can't get any expression except a "What the @#$ is that light?" look.
BTW, in all fairness to Max, he is now adorable as much as he is angry. Here's a photo I just shot as I'm typing the blog. I even captured a smile. Let's see Jay Cutler try this face!
Max was in the middle of a very difficult thumb sucking attempt. His right arm wasn't cooperating, so he used his left hand to force his right hand in his mouth. Smiling was accomplished by rubbing his head.
