11month update
Here we are at 11 months today! This week has brought some big changes! Maxi took his first steps last Sunday and is continuing to practice throughout his days!! He is getting tooth number 7, which the discomfort was masked we suppose by his viral bug last week.
Eric was reading Max a story about Miffy and her bicycle, upon mentioning Miffy’s bicycle, Max craned his head around Eric to point to Eric’s bike on the back porch! Hooray for Max! Max has also enjoyed watching the Rugby World Cup, he points to the TV and watches so intently…
I am continuing to work my 7p-11:30p shifts (2 a week) at the pediatric rehab hospital and am really enjoying it. I am working with some great people who respect my experience (a lovely feeling as an agency nurse), and am having fun with the kids. Max goes down right before I leave and then I’ll nurse him when I get home, he doesn’t even know I’m gone! I am so grateful for this opportunity and thank the unit every shift for having me. It couldn’t be a better situation for us, no childcare needed, the bills get paid first, then my savings and fun money second. We even had a night out last weekend, thanks to our free babysitter! One of our friends who actually means “Call me to babysit.”
The Baltimore heat finally broke today, it’s 60 and cloudy. A perfect afternoon to bake up a squash for Max and cookies for Mommy and Daddy.
Ok, our mirror on the wall downstairs just came crashing down and I had no idea what or where the noise was. Max just went down for a nap and I am trembling something fierce. Don’t think the glass broke. So will go investigate. Max slept through the crash!
