Scroll down for the last couple of entries, I break them up so i dont lose the data.max and jelly helping mom make pancakes

my good little guy, letting me clip his nails, oh and i regrettfully, but too late now, cut of his curls when i was trying to just ‘clean up’ the skiddly little hairs that were too long.

curl free, and playing with the new sprinkler out back.

asleep at the wheel, first nap on the road.

4th of July, a good capture of his little itchy nose habit.

first family ride, down our alley, house on the right.

615 8th Street

and of course his scooter’s new home out back.

ok, what should my priority be for this blog, uploading pics or getting some text done… i’m just going to shoot from the hip and blast out some copy….

we are settled, i love it here (but ask me again in January). Im so at peace, getting the place settled with final touches. slowly making new friends and mom friends that seem to jive with my way of life.

we have a new pediatrician, ironically at the same clinic that i will be working. it was a get aqauainted visit and she came recommended from the family across the street. max did get a hep A vaccination and is still not himself  (from last thur) had a temp of 103 friday into saturday morning. but we’re slowly getting back on track. Dr Barton whom we/I love also gave us her impression of daycare facilities in the city/town. the one that she highly recommended though doesnt have the flexibility that another one near us has as far as scheduling his days there, since i dont really know when i’ll be working… but she still recommended the one we are on the fence about…. my head is realing from this little tid-bit, so i’ll leave it at this and address it in another post.

we had a welcoming reception for the neuro dept tonight and had a 14yo babysitter who was great, even tid-ied up the counters and got max down without a hitch, she checked on him a couple of times as she felt she needed to. she is the daughter of eric’s director (how cute and they actually used to own and live in this house 10 years ago. Max’s room was Angel’s room, so it was really special for her to come here and be in the house again, she remembers it even though she was 4.5 when they moved

ok. i’ll do a picture post now, before i get timed-out.

Ok, quick as i’m on someones unsecured network outside on the front steps. we are here and it’s great. my mom and dad arrived wed night, we arrived wed morning at 0130, my father’s presence was a HUGE suprise and i am loving it! lots of hard work and lots of generosity on their part to get the place set up. max is loving it. he even muttered in a sweet little voice as eric carried him out of the car in the middle of the night “new house.”

and instead of rats out back we have three juvinille bunnies that frolick around and even let max approach them.

ok…. gotta run

thanks to tim and jessica that sent us a kick-butt edible arrangement!!

ok, need a little time to adjust from our morning… first real accident for our family; max fell backwards and head over heals down the steep wooden stairs today.  im just now not crying…. he knocked two teeth clear out of his head…. sickening.  the pediatrician said ‘all is OK, and he’ll ge over it faster than we will” and the pediatric dentist said he doesnt need to be seen unless we want him to be seen.  it wont affect the permanent teeth and he’ll adjust by chewing around them.  it’s the bottom right incisor and canine.  i was looking at the zits on my face when it happened, talk about guilt!…. i was too far from him to stop it and was completely frozen too.

so, with motrin in his belly, he seems no worse for the wear this afternoon, was a little freaked out this morning though….

eric wanted me to post a picture of the teeth, but i can’t say i feel like it right now.  his beautiful brand new teeth, i’m thoroughly bummed.

this might have been the last thing i needed right now as we get ready to move…..
