Is summer here yet??

I guess there is nothing we can do about it so I should quit complaining but I really just hate February, March and April. Supposedly we had the first day of spring but not only did I forget to get my free Rita's but its still kind of cool and there are still WAY too many germs floating around!

We don't have too much new to report. Max is growing like a weed again, out of even some 6 month stuff already. He's doing great with his cereal. We switched to all Oatmeal for his stomach and he's eating it 3 times a day. We'll stick with this for another week or so before we switch over to veggies....I'm kind of scared of the mess veggies will make.... out of both ends...

We haven't yet found a bubble to keep Max in, though we've been trying to keep him away from germs, even kept him home from church on Sunday just to be safe and of course I end up with the flu anyway... which I find ironic since I got the flu vaccine for the first time this year even though I haven't had the flu in 20 years. Luckily the boys seem to be ok and I'm sure I'll recover. I'm NOT a good bed rest person, I get so bored so I'm hoping it passes quickly.

Max is a bunch of laughs lately. He goes absolutely nuts in his jumper, but I guess its good exercise for him. He still has a bit of a whine we'd like to get rid of but if that's our only complaint than I'll keep quiet. He's been sitting up pretty well lately and has been rolling over some too. I'm not too anxious for him to be mobile but its fun watching him learn new things.

Other than that we're just waiting for warm weather. We have a trip planned for a little Swanson family reunion at the lake in MN in July we're looking forward to. And of course Uncle Kris and Aunt Wendy will be coming in May so we can't wait for them to meet the Maxwell. We've been spending a lot of time with Great Grandma Nancy and we're sad to see her go this weekend but so glad we got such good time to spend together!

Our jobs are going well. I am pretty close (probably am since I've been sick) to loosing my Maxwell weight. I put the 6 in 6 rule as opposed to the 9 in 9 so I only have a little time left to go. I'd like to loose a few more then before summer but it is what it is. I have a million excuses why I haven't made it on the treadmill like I'd like but again.... just waiting for warmer weather so Max and I can take walks.

So here are a few pictures. My mom got a frame and she needed a picture. We realized since she sees him so much we really didn't have a good one of the two of them together lately so we snapped a great shot:

And of course we have so many clothes we received that never even got worn because they were for the wrong seasons.... this Curious George T-shirt was so small but he looked so cute, I had to snap a picture before it made its way into the attack.
