What a week!

Max and I have had quite a week!
On Monday we went grocery shopping with his favorite friend, Danielle. He likes to just sit and stare at her:).....and touch her belly!! (He's really excited for her to have Luke so he can have a little buddy to crawl on!)
On Tuesday we had a play date at the park with some other midwestern girls and their kids. Max was crawling all over the most adorable twin girls. I think he was in heaven!
He really has started crawling/scooting like crazy. (I'm not sure the difference, but it doesn't really matter, he's mobile!!) He really likes being around other babies and taking their toys. He is very observant of the other kids and their behaviors. This one little boy started to cry and Max just stared at him and couldn't figure out why he was crying. -By the way, he was crying because Max was sucking on his toy!
On Wednesday we went to story/singing time at the library with Jack and Sarah. He loved the singing time, not so much the story time, though. We had a lot of fun singing, he really loves "The Wheels on the Bus" song. Later that night, Morgan tried for about 10 minutes to get him to bed but was unsuccessful. He really tried, but Max just gets too excited when daddy's around and doesn't want to go to sleep!!
On Thursday the poor little guy had to get his 6 month check-up and shots. He is doing well, he is in the 70th percentile for head size (no surprise!), 88th percentile for height (really surprised) and 65th percentile for weight. He actually hasn't gained any weight over the last 3 weeks, but the doctor said that was totally normal and he wasn't too concerned because he is still extra chubbalicious!
Max did really well getting those stupid shots. The nurse took her sweet time and I swear it couldn't have taken any longer!! My poor little buddy was sobbing pretty hard, but was fine as soon as I held him. When the doctor was doing his check-up, he was really freaking out and the doctor said he was probably beginning his separation anxiety period, which usually starts around 6-9 months. So, don't be surprised if I see any of you in the next few months when I just hand him off to you. I definitely think he needs to be secure in going to other people!!
Thursday night also was kind of funny. Morgan came home around 10 and I was just getting Max back to sleep and of course he woke up when Morgan came in and did not want to be back in bed so Morgan got to hang out with him for a little bit which I'm sure they both enjoyed.
Well, today is Friday and we haven't done much, just a trip to the store for the monthly grocery shopping. I have got to go now because the little dude is just all over his daddy's office trying to grab any wire or bit of paper he can. We love and miss you all!
