I look at these pictures and then i look back at ones over a year ago and think, how insane it is. he always looks the same to me; yet he is such a  big boy now. These were just from this weekend, a visit w Tim and Jessica (the bike helmet), a midday nap in his PJ’s, to the kitchen floor shots in his new sandals. I asked him to smile and that’s just what I got, one w flash and one without. Oh this baby, too cute!

This picture was missing from my intended post. Oh how sweet he is as he will hold your hand now .

I just had to throw the prego shot in; it looks fake! He was still close to 3 weeks from arrival!

The others are from our weekend w/ Grammie and Grandpie McDade at the botanical garden in Baltimore, it was our first time there, can’t believe it… it’s so close and so kid friendly. And there are some shots from the zoo, it is our first trip back since they closed for the winter. Max was cracking up at the giraffes eating ’sticks’ from the branches of a broken down tree, they updated their habitat so you can get so close to them while they eat. The close up in the stroller is of him watching them from another vantage point in their habitat. He also loves the tram from the entrance of the zoo to the animals (it’s a really, really long walk).

On another note (i just saved the entry), we thought we would binky wean max, and after a week of trying (he had lots of nightime wakings, early and crying ones, horrible napping; barely one in the morning and none in the afternoon) we re-introduced it. He still will only use it and doesn’t request it anymore than for in the crib. We don’t even use it for stories before he lays down and we are all much happier. He does carry Jelly around constantly and seeks him out for soothing if he gets an ‘ouchie’ or is frustrated. I am not too worried about the binky issue, he might just have the dispostion to ditch the binky on his own when he is ready.

so, just about 3.5 months til move date. i’m already figuring out what we can buy for the pantry that we will use up and not end up throwing out. time to plan for movers and my MN license, that will make (i have to count)…6 states that I am going to be licensed in.

I’m so psyched i got this updated, thanks for all who keep up!

Love,

Lisa
