Monday

We've been having so much fun! Now that the weather is nice, we go for long walks nearly everyday. It's really amazing to walk through the park that I've run through so many times because I see things that I never saw before. For example, on sunny days, the rocks are loaded with Mommy, Daddy and Baby Turtles. They're soo cute! Energetically I feel like a completely different person as I stroll through the park with Max and often with Gauss. Depending on what time of day we walk, we see many of the same people daily. One man joked with me a few weeks ago that between Max and Gauss, I had "quite a load to manage." I saw him a few days later with David along for the walk and said, "I have a helper today!"

David was home last week and Max and I really enjoyed his presence. We played outside on the deck a lot (http://www2.snapfish.com/share/p=696281209380262594/l=369433663/g=124666915/otsc=SYE/otsi=SALB )and Max loves when we blow bubbles into his face. This kid defines resilience!

Max is clapping his hands; waving his hands hello and goodbye (although not necessarily at "proper" times); he likes to share his food with us and gets hysterical when we allow him to feed us; he continues to make hilarious sounds with his lips/mouth; AND he's discovered that his finger fits up his nose : )

Thanks for checking in. I hope you all are well. ~ Robyn
