Busy Boy

I have been awful about blogging lately. Being a working mom is no easy feat! I have a new grade level at school this year. If I get a moment free from taking care of Max I spend it working on lesson plans. I taught second grade my first year, but I forgot how small they are! I do have a really great class and I know that I will get into the swing of things soon. It is just taking more time to get a routine down this year. We will get there!



Max has had a very busy few weeks. First of all he is proud to be riding around in style now that Mom and Dad bought a new mini van. It is wonderful! We bought our '08 Honda Oddyssey almost two weeks ago. Gotta love those model year close out sales. I love how easy it is to get Max in and out, and whoever invented power sliding doors was a genius!



We put our van to the test the first weekend we had it, by making a trek out to Kansas City to visit some friends. Brian, Max, and I stayed with a friend from college and his wife and little boy. Graham is just over a year and he was walking all over the place! It was fun to see what we have in store for us down the line. Max was a trooper in the car. He didn't cry much and we only had to stop once to feed him. While we were visiting Max had a fun first, he got to go swimming in Grahams little pool. It was so cute! Graham showed Max how it was done and the two of them seemed to have fun playing in the water together. Graham was even kind enough to let Max share his pool gear - I loved the hat!



Max has also been busy on the development front. He rolls over like crazy, at least from back to front. He is also doing much better at sleeping through the night. Last night he made it from bedtime until morning five days in a row! I am in heaven! I forgot what it was like to sleep for a solid 8 hours. We are also very excited about his two new teeth. His front two bottom teeth have broken through the gum over the last week. They are sharp little suckers! I think that will be on teeth for a little while at least. Our next big adventure will be introducing solids, which will happen in just a couple weeks.
