I apologize for the lack of blog posts! It's been a busy couple of weeks here. The family has been fighting colds on and off for what seems like forever. Jacob had a sinus and double ear infection. Max's Uncle Eric had bronchitis...then me and my mom both got some kind of nasty stomach bug. Hopefully this is the last bout of this stuff until next fall. It is finally starting to look like spring here in Ohio. I took this photo outside of my lab's building on campus.



Max has had a major milestone as he has officially pulled himself up onto his feet using the coffee table. He gets a real look of satisfaction whenever he manages this! Here is a photo of Max with his cousin, Jake. They are becoming better and better friends!


Here is Max at Chick fil a. We got a seat next to the kids' play area and he was quite content to sit and watch the bigger kids run and play.


Here is a photo of the famous Max smile!


Here is Max doing what he does best...EAT! He still loves sweet potatoes and squash. He eats fruit mixtures and has just started eating some chicken and turkey baby foods. He goes "mmmmmmmmmmmm" when he takes bites!

Max still loves Mickey Mouse and really is a natural music-lover. It is so cute when he "dances" to music. He really has a natural rhythm...he even bounces his whole little body up and down when his dad sings to him! I will attempt to get video of this!
