Max and company headed up to New York for Spring Break last week and he had a blast! He ran wild on the playground, feasted on an unlimited amount of homemade treats, played basketball, and celebrated both Passover and Easter. He bunked with Grandma and Grandpa, giggled during countless rounds of the door game, and practiced drinking from a regular cup. He perfected the "ahhh" sound (a la Susie Green) after each sip, but is still working on getting all of the water in his mouth. At Aunt Carol's house, Max got a lot of practice walking up and down stairs all by himself. He also got his third haircut. Maybe it was the pretty stylist, or the comfort of his grandpa, but it was his first haircut without tears! Who needs Cancun when you can go to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Spring Break?!
On a sentimental note, it has been one whole [ridiculously crazy] year since I first kissed my baby goodbye in the operating room. The date, March 27, is etched in my mind like Max's birthday, because I nervously anticipated it everyday for the first three months of his life. But just like that, the gap in his mouth, that I feared before he was born, and fell in love with when I met him, disappeared in what feels like the blink of an eye.
