mr. cheese ball

first of all, THANK YOU for the encouraging words over the last week.

we are now officially over the flu and life couldn't be better here in our home.

{ok...a few things could be better. like, our boxes could magically empty themselves and put their contents away...but that just isn't going to happen i'm afraid.}

max hasn't thrown up since saturday night so it's been almost a week. hallelujah.

and since then, he has discovered that he can make the cheesiest smile. ever.

it is pretty much the funniest thing {even though i'm afraid that he has forgotten how to smile normally...}

see for youself:

{don't you love how we never take any pictures outside of his high chair?? that is pretty much the only place we can get him to sit still for longer than two seconds!}

it's hard to get mad at that little face.

{even when he decides that he no longer likes his crib and will ONLY sleep in our bed for his naps. or when we are trying to wean him from nursing...and he will screaaaaam until he gets what he wants. even then, it's hard to be mad. but, i am open to suggestions!}
