December 1, 1999

I didn't get a chance to write last week because I was out sick with laryngitis. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

As for my family, we ate like pigs! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, yadda, yadda, yadda...it was a never-ending food fest! I loved it though.

Max is starting to walk more and more now. He can now take about six or seven steps at a time before falling or sitting down. It's hilarious to watch him stagger along with his arms stretched out for balance and a goofy grin on his face. I'm excited to have him walking all over the place. People tell me it's a whole new set of worries when they begin to walk, but I'm ready. (The bottle of hair dye is ready and waiting to cover up all the new gray hairs that will appear.)

Christmas is on the way!!! Yeah! I love this time of year and it will be even more fun with Max. I'm concerned about the tree, though. We don't have one yet, but I'm worried about how I will keep Max from getting under the tree, pulling it down, etc. Any suggestions?

Well, I'd better get going.... Max is yelling for me to play. Have a great week!
