Max' Big Day

Max had a big day yesterday, he slept through the night for the first time!  When he woke up, Torre, our dog, was here.  He loves Torre, he throws her bone at her, her toys, everything.  When we go outside, Torre chases other animals and Max chases Torre.  This morning when I woke up, Torre was asleep in Max’ room right next to the crib.  I can’t believe how quickly they have bonded. 

I guess I didn’t give Max enough breakfast yesterday morning, he came walking up to me with something in his mouth, I took it out and found a piece of crunchy dog food.  I don’t think he liked it very much; he didn’t go back for seconds!  Or maybe he listened to me when I took him over to the dog dish and told him not to eat the dog food, maybe not.

Then we went to the pediatrician, Max did pretty good except when they drew blood. After that it was home for lunch and a nap, or so I thought.  He ate his lunch but refused to take a nap.  He was in the crib for about ninety minutes and seemed to get more and more awake each minute. 

We had to go to the super market; he did great in the cart.  He just wanted me to hand him each item so he could inspect it and try to open it before it actually went into the cart.  When I tried to bypass this process because I was putting a glass jar in the cart, the lack of nap reared its ugly head and the meltdown began, it lasted until we got back into the car. 

Late yesterday afternoon we had visitors, my friends Lisa, Stephanie and Chrissy came over.  Max did great, much better than I thought he would!  He laughed and played and ran all over the place, everyone had fun!   It seems Max is ready to meet my friends and family.
