Lovely Long Weekend

Max loved spending lots of time with his Mommy and Daddy over the long weekend. We had a great time going for a long walk and making a stop at the park before the rain started for yesterday.

Back at home, Max was happy to play on the couch. He is very vocal these days: after having mastered the "b" sound, he has since been perfecting his "d" sound. He has even managed an "m" on occasion. I will try to video tape him "talking" soon (he tends to stop the second he sees the camera).

As we were going to bed, some neighbours were setting off an impressive display of fireworks from their roof. Max was enthralled by the colours and the loud sounds that accompanied them. Paul and I mused that the first time that Max really kicked me was during the fireworks on July the 4th of last year in New York City. It seems that our boy is a fan, and that we will likely be letting him stay up past his bedtime for years to come so that he can see them on various holidays.
