so close to one year
it’s crazy, thinking about where i was last year at this time, on this day. most likely sleeping. i was up to about 18 hours a day of sleep!
eric and i were just thinking about little maxi quirks over the last year. how eric used to ‘wind max down’ for bed, reading to him in our bed while max watched and listened. then would kick his feet determined to stay awake, not being able to fight it and finally falling asleep. eric would then transfer him to his crib and we would tip-toe all around downstairs since his room had no door and shared the skylight with the stairs. this started our eating dinner in front of the TV, which we actually have come to enjoy. we set the coffee table, and sit on the floor. it’s actually much nicer than the cluttered dining room table.
halloween was fun, max had two parties that week. he got a really good chin scrape too while playing on the porch while the mass of trick-or-treaters came. you cannot truly appreciate what trick-or-treating is on our street unless you experience it. you have to sit at the bottom of the stairs and it is a constant flow from 4:30 until you run out of candy. which this year was 8pm for us, last year was 7:30. one piece per kid and we had 20lbs of candy. people have to come home from work early to be prepared! check back for our christmas updates. thanksgiving is bypassed on our street. the christmas decorations are already up in preparation for the saturday after thanksgiving and our lighting ceremony.
max is also full on walking now, he has his big boy shoes that grammie and grandpy mcdade bought for him when they visited a couple of weeks ago. we’re thinking talking is just around the corner. he has one sylable sounds and pseudo words now!
our little lion awakes, will get some pictures posted as soon as they get downloaded.
