Gold Basin and Playdate

Max put a smudge on the lens but I had to post a picture of his first popsicle. Watermelon!

We had a great time last weekend at Gold Basin Campground. Max loves to go camping. He really loves sleeping in the tent.

I loved this campground because it had hot showers. When I told my coworker how great it was to have showers at the campground her face grimaced and she said that's not camping! She doesn't have kids yet........
It was nice to wash all the sand and dirt off of Max before he got in the tent and rolled all over our sleeping bags.
We hope to get one more camping trip in before the end of summer.

The other pictures are of Max at a play date. Unless Max is sleeping there is no keeping him still so we have to constantly be doing something or going somewhere.

Development Milestone:

We are starting to have little conversations with Max. We can ask him a few simple questions. What did you have for lunch? He'll answer.......noodles... at table.. and milk.

Since he began talking he's basically been answering questions with one word. But now he's stringing words together and giving some information that wasn't asked for like.....at table and milk. And he's also starting to sing songs, like Hush Little Baby, Kookaburra, and he counts to 5 and says parts of his ABCs.

I can't wait for him to really start talking. After spending almost 2 years with someone, you really want to know whats going on in their head.

The summer is in full swing and it's nice to be able to spend much of our time outdoors. Our garden has produced some nice basil that we've been munching on and soon we will have an abundance of tomatoes and beans.

I'm filling out the paperwork today for Max's co-op preschool which begins in September. I think I finally have my work schedule fixed to a comfortable level that gives me enough time with Max (if that exists) and enough income. We still await the news about Charles's job in the fall.

Paw-Paw and GJ have made their plans for a visit with Max in a few weeks and Grandma Phyllis recently bought her ticket to come out for Max's birthday.
