long time gone

sorry its been so long since i've posted...we've been busy and we've been slacking on the picture taking! MDO has been going great! max hasn't cried for drop off for about 2 weeks...today none of the kiddos were crying so that is really nice. he does have a few things he usually takes with him to make him feel better...his hat which apparently he wears the entire time:) and usually his stuffed mini grover and/or elmo. my mom got here last saturday and its been great having her here...she'll be staying about 5 more weeks. max is really enjoying having her here and we're hoping it will help with the transition with baby J:) speaking of baby J, my due date is this friday...woot! we are all ready for him and are all eagerly anticipating his arrival. i have a dr's appt on wednesday so here's hoping to some more progress!!

39 weeks 

max is talking up a storm these days...he'll say just about anything and its really fun to hear him talk. sometimes its a guessing game as to what he's saying but that's half the fun! he got a haircut, finally:) and we've slowly been gathering items for his halloween costume...hopefully it turns out like we think its going to!

max has taken to giving concerts at the piano (yes, he did the chairs himself)!

the weather has finally cooled off here...most days we're in the mid to upper 80's so that has been really nice. we even got some much needed rain this weekend! max is all over the ipad these days...he absolutely loves the pbskids.org app.

getting the ipad after mama put it up

i leave you with some cheese face:)
