travels

this was just yesterday:)

max's first plane trip went splendidly...his second, not so much, but we can't be greedy:) max and i spent a week at my parent's which was really nice and restful. we just kind of hung out. max got right back onto schedule and did great with traveling. he even had his first haircut at grandma's.

the next weekend was mother's day weekend and papa met us in chicago and we spent the weekend at my sister's and max got to hang out with his cousin brenna. they really seemed to like each other:) my mom was in seventh heaven having the whole family together.

we then spent a few days seeing friends around the chicago area...we didn't get to see some people because max got sick one day so we just stayed home so he could get some rest. we then made a 6 hour car trip to cinci so max could meet papa's TT.

max did pretty well with the car trip but with all the traveling and not napping well his cold kind of resurfaced and was feeling pretty yucky by the time we were to leave for home...we were flying from cinci to ATX. max was more fussy on the way home...i attribute it to his cold and the fact that we were delayed for about 5 hours during the day. it's never felt so good to be home!!!
max is finally starting to feel better and has been sleeping and eating pretty good the last day or so. hopefully this cold is behind us! dad-dad has been here this week doing some home repairs for us. he leaves tomorrow.
max is starting to sit up with no support of his hands. he says da-da a lot...we occasionally get a ma-ma:) he's added pears, butternut squash, apriums and peas to his eating rotation. he didn't really care for the peas but loves everything else:) we are having some 6 month pics done tomorrow...melissa is coming over to do those. i am super excited...i'm sure she'll get some great shots. max has his 6 month well check on monday so i'll post his stats and picture monday afternoon or tuesday.
