Someone asked me what stroller we got for Max last week. We got him a Baby Jogger City Series Elite.
He's had his baby jogger stroller now for almost 3 years, and it's had a whole lot of miles put on it and is finally tearing apart. So we decided before we got over to England to get him a new one. We had to see first that the strap between the legs was longer, and that the height on the length on his back wasn't too short for him. It passed with flying colors, so we got him some new wheels! We haven't opened it up yet, we want to keep it all together for the plane ride over, but once we do we will take some pictures! For now you can see what it looks like sans Max.
Max has been doing some pretty funny things the past couple of days. Yesterday morning I woke up to him straddled across my back. He had rolled until he found me, then swung his leg over my back and was laying on top of me. I said to Steve, "Look at your son right now...then please get him off of me!". It was so hilarious!
Today, while we were playing a game with the family, Max was playing on the floor, and checking himself out in the big mirror beside him. He saw Olive walking his way and turned his head and said his first sentence, "Hi Olive (ah-ah)", then reached out for her with his foot! It was so cool! We let him pet her with his foot and he got so tickled!
He was playing "sneak up on mommy" this morning, meaning I would be somewhere and Steve would bring him sneaking up on me in another room. But he couldn't contain himself, he would get almost to me and start squealing at his sneaking up skills. It was so funny!
He has finally found out there are fingers attached to his hands. He has been putting them in his mouth, and then becoming a bit apprehensive about the wiggly things being there. He just looks around like, who put these in here...please get them out now!
A fun trick we learned at the NIH, was that he will give "hi-five" with his foot, and then we tell him do hit our hand with his other foot, and he does!
And one more Max story, and you should be about caught up. Grammy's big grandfather clock plays the ding dong ding dong chimes from Big Ben. When Max first heard it the other day he said his word for England...which is pretty garbled, but has the "ng" and "l", followed by YEAH!. This kid is just amazing!
I think he's excited to go, we keep telling him we are going on the airplane and going to England. I just hope he wants to sleep on the airplane and be very excited to be there while we have to go through customs...and not scream on the plane...and that he is a good boy! Because that last trip to the UK with him screaming and crying was so so so so so so so difficult!
Okay...so you are caught up on Max. And surely your day is better for it!

It is so fun to read these stories! Is it me or is this such a monumental time? It seems like he learns something or progresses somehow every day. How very funny his sense of humor too.
Way to go Max! He is ready to start his new adventure in England and teach us all some new stuff along the way. Giddy up!!!!!
Absolutely- my day is better for it. I smiled and giggled right along with his antics. How awesome to find ways to play together, communicate and connect.
