OMG...the heat!

the heat people...its crazy, i tell you! just about the entire state of TX is in a severe drought and here in the ATX it is no different...i think the weather man said we haven't had substantial rain since oct. add insult to injury, we've had above normal temps for the last month or so. i think we've been about 10 degrees above normal so that means the highs for the 7 day forecast, 101, 103, 104, 103, 103, 104, 103...for realz...that goodness for the air-con!!! we try to do our outside activities in the AM before it gets too hot but its still pretty warm, max's little cheeks get all red and the heat saps the energy out of me:) its going to be a long summer! i see lots of pool activity and indoor playdates in our future:)
we started swim lessons last week...the first day didn't go so hot but i would say we redeemed ourselves on the second day:) papa came with us to the pool on saturday and we had a great time. we have 2 more lessons this week so i'm hoping for some great things:) we've been trying to hit the pool on the days we can, man, am i hungry and tired when we get home!

max discovered the synthesizer on garage band...the kid is pretty good if i don't say so myself!

we had some bread and jelly for breakfast one morning this week...behold the cuteness!

max is starting to get a few more words...bump continues to be his fav, no no, yes, a version of nose, something resembling jump and kick:) he loves to go on walks, on his own little legs. he does pretty good of staying on the sidewalk when we aren't on our street and is getting much better at holding hands to cross the street. the hard part is coming home...i usually have to carry him part of the way. he doesn't like to turn around and come home:) he just wants to keep going and going!
we have our repeat anatomy scan tomorrow so hopefully i'll have some more pics of the baby to put on here in a couple of days:)
