Max hit another milestone this week. On Dec 22, he peed in the toilet. He said "mommy, pee" and pointed to the toilet. So Sarah took his diaper off and put him on the toilet not expecting anything to happen. Well, Max pushed and pushed and finally some pee came out. He was very happy with his accomplishment and Sarah and I were quite amazed. He followed that up the next day with a poo in the toilet. He did the same thing but substituted pee for poo. We not sure how long this will last but there's no way that we're trusting his newfound abilities.

We put up the Cristmas tree today. Max was mildly interested. He was however interested in the Beach Boy's rendition of Frosty the Snowman which we had to listen over and over and over....

Anyway, here are some pix or us decorating the tree.






Here's some cute pictures that we took this week.

Just in case you're wondering, my eye surgery was completed without complications. I can now see 20/20 without glasses. I am seeing halos around lights but it's not too distracting. The Dr say that that should go away in a few week and is caused by swelling in the eye due to the trauma.

I am as happy as can be with the results and am glad to be finally rid of my glasses.

So it's been a while since I posted. Gimme a break. It's been busy.

My parents were back down visiting two weeks after they left (Nov 24-36). They were already in Toronto and stayed with a friend until the weekend when they came to visit.

Sarah has been working lots and so have I.

Max continues to learn more and more. This week marked a somewhat sad milestone. Max will no longer use his word "ba-um" for bottle. Our little boy is growing up. His language continues to bloom. New to his vocabulary are "Santa, Christmas lights, bus truck (bus), baby truck (pickups), motorcycle, monkey". He seems to learn new words every day.

He has a new Baby Einstein movie called "World Animals". It's nice not having to always watch Baby Macdonald.

On a totally different note, I'm going in for laser eye surgery tomorrow at the TLC clinic in Waterloo. It's going to be nice to not have to where glasses any more but I am a little nervous about the surgery and the recovery. Most of the issues that they had with halo are now resolved with the new generation of laser so that appeases my main concern.

Here are some pictures from my parent's most recent visit.

He was the only one that was warm.
