Let's start with the Good:

This past weekend, we trekked up to Sherman to attend my uncle Lee's 70th birthday party. It was a bit chaotic, but Max met lots of new people, and had some play time with his cousin Jayden.

See? I told you it's delicious!

Max also got to hang out a little on the deck. We'll be spending quite some time there later this summer, when we try him out in Mimi and PaPaw's pool!

I sense that there's something...behind me...perhaps behind and up a little...

Dawwwwwww...

EXTREME CLOSE UP! WHOOOOOOAAAAAAAA!

A few milestones - Max is getting much better in his sitting. He can't sit unsupported for more than a couple of seconds, but he is getting much better at balancing when you hold one of his hands. He's also getting better at attempting to roll over, and pushing himself up. Hopefully he'll be rolling around in no time!

Muhahahahaaa, I almost have it!

Another Saturday milestone - Max reached out for me for the first time. He'd reached out once last weekend as well, for his PaPaw (the baby-magician), but this was his first "come to Mommy" moment, which made me very happy!

She won't admit it, but she's actually crying a little...

This week's milestone - Max has sprouted his first tooth yesterday! It's still in the very pointy beginning stages, but it's definitely there. We'll try to take a picture once it is more established.

Now for the Bad:

Max has still had a few lingering diaper issues, so we took a quick trip to the pediatrician for bloodwork on Friday. Luckily, his hemoglobin numbers are normal, so that's one less thing to worry about. We switched his rice cereal to a different brand, and that seems to be working out much better for him. We may even try oatmeal this weekend!

And, now, the Ugly:

The hard drive on our beloved Macbook died on Thursday night. Jon took it to the Apple store, but they were unable to repair it. We're now sending it to a specialist to see if they can recover any of our data. Luckily, we've uploaded the best of our photos to Flickr, but there were still hundreds (thousands) of photos that we didn't upload, and unfortunately hadn't backed up in a while. We now have all of the proper tools to do much more frequent backups, so hopefully we won't have this issue again.

But hey, at least we can take more pictures. Like this one.

Daddy did this to me...

We've decided to switch to a Monday update schedule, as Sundays obviously aren't the best days for us to get these done. Hopefully we'll be able to keep up with that in the coming weeks. Check in later this week, as we might have a few new videos to share!

Have a great week, everyone!
