Almost another week has gone by...but not an entire week, so my conscience will allow me to sleep tonight. Speaking of which, Max continues to sleep very well, putting in an 8 hour night last night (sweeeet). Everyone woke up well rested this morning. Yesterday, Max was a little sad as he went to his last reading circle event of the year (I am reminding Holly to blog about this right now - as someone who has never been, I just wouldn't be able to do it justice). So we're just going to have to make do with our current repertoire of songs and body awareness games.
So Max's new trick this week - holding on to things. A couple of weeks ago, we were able to jam something into his hand and if we were lucky, he'd squeeze it for a bit and that was about it. Now he actually plays with things sometimes. He has a little rattle that he likes to hold while getting changed. Yes, the rattle + diaper combo leaves him in a state of euphoria last seen at the Burning Man festival...soothers and all. He likes playing with these plastic chain links things, dangled from something overhead. With his new-found aptitude with chain links, maybe he's taking after his grandfather Richard and learning to be a master fencer. The kind with the pickets, not the epees. Here he is on stir-fry night, first with a bean and then with a chopstick. So cute!
I'm personally getting excited to bring him in to work next Wednesday so that he can meet my colleagues. Some have already met him at wedding receptions and pumpkin-carving parties and the like, but many haven't. I can't wait!
