Blah, Blah, Blah

I know, I know, I've been remiss in posting about anything, even Max's photo blog is so behind. However, now finals are over, and I have some time to catch up in all the many things I have been neglecting in my life (cleaning, of course, being at the very end of that list).

Max has been "speaking" a lot more lately. By speaking, I mean repetitive consonants and nothing with meaning, just baby babbles. Oh what fun, though, to hear my little guy chatter away! He's been doing "mamama" or "maaaaam" for awhile now, especially when mad, but he doesn't actually mean mama. He'll happily go to anyone who will pick him up. About 3 days ago he woke up saying "vavava" and "fla fla fla." Since then, he has a nice repetition of consonant sounds that he likes to repeat and mix and match.

This morning, I think he assigned meaning for the first time, or maybe not. He was sitting in the kitchen while I made breakfast, and I was talking to him about what I was doing and what we had going on today. He looks up at me, smiles, and goes "blah, blah, blah." Then he stuck his tongue out and blew raspberries. Oh I cannot wait until this boy is a teenager!
