Month 13, Day 10: Storytime Max

It's been a while since our last update! While we made it to and from Missouri safely over the holidays (where we encountered even more snow), we came home to a cold apartment. Our heater's been on the fritz since December 29, and our wonderful landlord said that it would be yet another week before the replacement parts would be here. So while we holed up in our bedrooms with space heaters during the deep freeze over the past few weeks, pictures of Max were few and far in between. But now you can enjoy Max at bedtime below.

Aside from the very vocal dismay during diaper changes and the screaming fit while we brush his teeth, the routine seems to meet Max's approval (except on those nights that he has so much fun that he can't bear to be put in his crib). After bathtime with Dad, Mom gets Max into his PJs and plays with him a bit before storytime. Which as you can see below typically turns into a wrestling match as Max tries to pry the book out of Dad's hands.

Finally, Max was content to sit next to Dad for the rest of the story.
