Oh, man, it has been 2 months since I last posted. Every single day great thanks are happening here - sweet, funny, heartbreaking, adorable, frustrating, insane things. And I think I will remember them and then the days fly by and I don't capture them and they are gone. Gonna get better at that starting right now!
Biggest development: Max has a first sentence and boy is it a winner. We were in the car and I said to him, like I say 100 times a day, "Maxy, I love you!" and he said "Ah La U". I thought I was hearing things so I said it again. And then he said it again. And now reliably, if you say to Max "I love you!" he will say it right back.
I die a little of happiness every single time it happens. And I even got it on video so when he's 13 and says "I hate you" more than "I love you", I can remember.
