I guess the biggest is that Mac is now 18 months old. He's a toddler in every sense of the word. He loves to have fun, get sick and throw tantrums but most importantly, he's becoming who he is and who he will be. As much as recognizing that we really have no control over him is hard, it's also a rather wonderful dose of reality. Yes, we diligently work to set boundaries and expectations but he is the one who knows best how to surprise us and keep us on our toes.
So what's he up to? He's coming off a serious bout with stomach flu (sorry to all of you infected, which were many), an ear infection and giggles. For the first time in months though, there's no runny nose and thankfully, our funny, silly little boy is happy again. A week is a long time in childhood and we're happy the last two are over. Macadam is loving to talk, dance, sing and interact (aka flirt) with all around him. Mac also likes everything to do with football, basketball and music. It's hard to tear him away from the park, his friends and the computer (which symbolizes his time with Elmo and nail trims). And next time you're with him, say cheers because this boy knows how to toast! Mac also loves to read right now, which we hope carries on forever.

All good times! I am just impressed he seems to walk with you guys without holding a hand! Nice training!!!
I guess it's a grass is always greener - we'd love it if he would hold our hands more as he finds himself a little too on the loose. His independence and will are more powerful than we imagined:)
Love the photo of him in his room reading. Classic. Glad to hear he's feeling better! Can't wait to get the boys together soon ...
