Of course our little monkey didn't like the Long Island Sounds one bit!  He liked the sand and watching the water, but not getting in it!  I'm sure his aversion to water is going to change, but it's just funny that Lou and I both grew up swimming and with boats in our families and now our child hates water!  Lou took him for a little dip, which lasted about 2 seconds, then he started screaming hysterically!!!  Poor baby.  He was doused up in UV protection from his hat to his 60spf on his toes!  

My Mom and Issi come in on Tuesday.  I'm so excited for them to see how much Max has changed in the last two months!  He's grabbing, laughing, and sticks out his bottom lip when he's unhappy!  He's turning into quite the character.

My stepmother, Lynn, is going through chemo for breast cancer, which totally stinks!  I keep thinking it's like the first trimester of pregnancy when I was so tired and nauseated, except I kept my hair (it's coming out now!)  Lou's mom also has breast cancer, but is going to have a lumpectomy first sometime in August, then radiation.

My grandfather, Lou's dad, Papa is still on a vent and has been moved to a facility.  

Things are looking up here though...I have another part-time job for the fall running small groups for second grade literacy at a neighborhood school.  With this and staying at New Haven Reads, I can still hang out with Max one afternoon a week and not be so stressed about teaching.  I'm still deciding on childcare for Max.  I found a place and really like it, but she won't hold the spot until September, when I need it.  So, we'll see.  I found another place, but the drawback there is that she has a cat (even though it stays in the basement!)...

Fourth of July and Visit with Mia

The Stein family went to Tanya and Rick's for the Fourth of July!  Max went in the pool for the first time and unlike his cousin, Madison, he HATED IT!  He was HYSTERICAL and lasted about 3 minutes until I gave him back to Lou.  

On Friday, July 3, Max and I went to visit Mia and Lena in Armonk.  We had a blast hanging out.  Lena was adorable in the backseat with Baby Max!  He was crying and Lena said, "It's ok Baby Max.  I love you..."  Then she offered him her lovey- Turtle!  What a doll!  We visited Leigh and her family, including new baby, Matthew.  Max looked like a GIANT compared to him!  He was a little peanut!
