Wow!

I can't believe it has been so long since my last post. The kids have both changed so much. Ellie just celebrated her 3rd birthday and as usual, I cried like a baby. I can't believe how much she has grown during the last year. She is certainly a little girl now and no longer a baby. Max is almost 10 months old. He is an expert crawler and I am sure that walking is right around the corner. He walks holding various push toys and cruises along furniture as if it is second nature to him. He no longer wants me to feed him, so I have to find foods that he can eat himself. He loves peas, carrots and green beans--just like his sister! It is amazing how much food he can eat with only 2 bottom teeth. Actually, now he has 3, as he has just cut one of his top teeth so I am sure the second top tooth is not far behind. He "talks" a lot, but no real words yet. Sometimes we think we here Dada and Mama, but I think its more sounds than anything else. He does wave hello and good bye and gives the absolute best kisses, though.
