Max Speak

I'm jotting down some things that Max says right now, so that I don't forget them.

"Dinnder" --his word for dinner
"Max eating croissant right now"
"Goodnight sleep tight"
"One more time"
"Ready to go outside now"
"Baby Beluga at Jasper's house with red play-doh"
"Help me find the red car, Mamma"
"Daddy at work right now"
"Max ride a yellow scooter. Fast."
"Max drive a school bus"

He's a lot of fun right now. His verbal skills have really taken off and it's a hoot talking with him. He was delighted to ride the bus down to the Lockspot, in the pouring rain, to meet Shawn for dinner. My hardcore craving for fish and chips makes me go out on even the rainiest of evenings.

Yesterday the baby started moving a lot, and today it moved all day. So much fun to feel the little movements. This morning I interviewed a midwife who is much closer to us, trekking across town with Max for appointments is getting old. I really like the midwife I met this morning and am excited to switch, she seems like a better fit for me.

The week has pretty much flown by. We've been doing a lot of indoor playing as it's been really rainy. I can't remember what we're doing this weekend, hopefully not much other than my and Katherine's big shopping trips to Fred Meyer and Uwajimaya. I'm starting to get tired out pretty easily, so here's to hoping Max takes it easy on us this weekend... one can hope, right?

Oh, one last thing. My friend Aaron and I played a really good April Fool's joke on Shawn yesterday. Shawn and I had been on call to go watch Aaron's daughter Ella if his wife went into labor before her scheduled c-section, so Aaron and I hatched a plan yesterday afternoon. Shortly after 9pm last night he called Shawn cell and told him Carol was in labor and could Shawn come stay with Ella until his in-laws could get there. With a bit of a sigh Shawn headed out in the pouring rain. He was greeted at Aaron's house with a drink, a burger from Dick's, and invited in to watch LOST. Hee-hee. Got you, Shawn!
