a little Dabb of this, a little Dabb of that: Weeks 6 & 7: Busy bees!

It has been a LONG TIME since we updated the blog because we have been busy, busy, busy! Aunt Lindsay was here for a whole week and Max got to do so many fun things! Some pictures are below, but here's a quick rundown of his time with Aunt Lindsay. We had dinner at the beach, went to New York City and walked around Central Park, had a beach day, took a few shopping trips and went wine tasting! Max also got his first set of vaccinations. He cried with the shots (a cry mom had never heard before), but did really well the next few days. It was so nice to have Aunt Lindsay here for a whole week. She was SO helpful and we had so much fun the whole week and really miss her already. Max also now has a handmade mobile to look at when he's in his crib.

The next week mom and Max spent some time catching up on stuff around the house and hanging out with some of Max's friends from the mommy group. On Friday night Aunt Amy arrived for the weekend and got to meet Max, finally! While she was here we had another beach day and did some site-seeing in New York City again, but this time down in the financial district. Again, it was so great to have her help and we can't wait to see everyone again in just a few weeks.

A few more exciting things going on in Max's life are a few real smiles here and there. Also, a lot of talking/cooing. And Max got two new toys recently...an activity mat that has a piano on the end so when he kicks it plays music and a swing! Pretty soon our living room is going to be full of baby toys!

We saw a double rainbow the night we had dinner at the beach!
