great grandma eagle
generous spirited sage
our lesson in grace

1920-2005

another first

i have not so far been a great chronicler of Max's firsts. He's been cooing and giggling since about week 2. Definitely by fathers'day (5 days old!? I swear it wasn't gas.) His sleeping habits and growth spurts have been right on schedule with what the many books suggest. week ten and he slept 5 and a half hours last night - the experts consider 5 hours "sleeping through the night" so hey hey lookit our little genius sleeper. I certainly thrived on 5 hours of sleep a night in my theater producing days. So why is my eye still twithcy?
BUT TO THE POINT
Max had his first 10 minutes of babysitting yesterday (not counting hangng out with grandma or an "auntie" across the driveway or on a short stroll.)
Mah honey had to go get Max's Gigi (thats meissner-speak for grandma) and I was running late SO a good friend called to drop in and mah honey said "perfect timing!" and so it was that Max was first babysat by our sweet good friend who is already madly in love with him and does show off his picture ot strangers. It still counts even though he slept through it right?
All my dear readers please don't be jealous - you'll get your chance I promise...

Max - the early days

so so teeny

a great way to pass the time

easy expressions+ pump in STYLE = a laugh a minute OR a morbid fear of ANYONE entering without knocking (or both)

mommy finally got it together

Finally!
