The word "retard"--

I hope this is Max in 15 years.

April already?

My goodness, time is really flying. Max turned 8 months old today. He is crawling on his hand and knees full time, pulling himself up to tall kneeling, and is able to play independently for a long time. He is so sweet and is a happy baby most of the time. Except during car rides, he doesn't like sitting in the car seat for long. He is a little trouble maker already, I think we need to do some baby proofing around the house, but don't know where to began.

Jake has been home for almost 2 weeks, which during the whole time, he was on the verge of having a full blown cold, but daily nabulizing treatments, limited exposure to indoor/outdoor temperature fluctuations, lots of liquids and rests, and probably his own improved immune system kept him from getting worst. Tomorrow he is returning to school, which I am sure he will be very happy to see everyone in school.

We try to have play time for Jake and Max. Max is always into whatever Jake has in his hand, he is crazy about the communication device. Sometimes Jake has to just grab it because Max is in his way to use the device. I wonder what role will the device play later on between Max and Jake 's communication? Jake is getting better to say "he is...", and "she is...." and "it is ......"
