Silence...

Max has been on a developmental upswing. He's talking a lot...like, after 11:00am, he talks non-stop until bedtime. He rarely cries anymore. Just talks and laughs.

And it's great. It's amazing. It's a miracle in the truest sense. And it is frazzling my every last nerve.

Not because I don't love to hear him talk...and not because I don't love to hear him laugh...and not because I don't know that 5 years ago we sat wondering if he would ever make a sound. But because it is so constant...10 hours of constant jibber jabber...at the tip top of his voice.

So forgive me as I capture my thoughts...enjoy a few videos of Mr. Max. And a few photos he took with my computer.

I love all the faces he's making in this video...



Here is one of him laughing when he's supposed to be sleeping!


And on to the photos...he pushed the mouse button to make the camera go off on my laptop using photobooth.










And finally...it's pretty cold around here...so Olive is just trying to keep warm any way she can. Like hiding in the covers.
