Lots of fun, with lots of friends

This weekend Max participated in the Joe Cassella 5K with his friends Gianna and Jackson. This is the second year Max has attended, and while he didn't break any records (or a sweat), his time definitely improved!  Last year he bounced around in the Baby Bjorn and this year he lounged in the stroller and snacked his way through the entire race. It is just a matter of time before he runs it.  With one of those runner belts filled with snacks, of course.

Speaking of snacks, Max cannot get enough. He signs "more", he says "more", and he jams more in his mouth, even when it is completely full. Yesterday, Max stuffed his mouth so full of rice crispy treats that he could not chew. The General, however, still wanted more and broke into a teary tirade when he was not able to fit another bite into his sticky, overflowing mouth. Clearly Max has his mom's sweet tooth and his dad's speedy metabolism!

Let's play ball!

Now that baseball is back in full swing, Max had to start working on his.  The pint-sized baseball toy (pictured far below) did not quite cut it for our multi-athlete-in-training, so we set out to find the perfect t-ball set for the General. Finding the right set for "Goldi-Max" was not easy.  Some were too tall, some were to short, and some were covered in Nationals logos.  At the end of the day Max went home and played basketball.
