Although all weekends are great, this past one was especially terrific. My dad decided he'd come visit when we blessed Max so that he could participate, and this was the weekend we decided to do it. My dad arrived Wednesday night and was able to spend a wonderful few days with us and get to know his first grandson!
Max sitting on Grandpa:
It was neat to watch my dad having so much fun with my little boy. He even helped Max rediscover his skill of flipping from front to back, which he hadn't done since he was about 3 weeks old. He did it at least 7 or 8 times for Grandpa!
On Saturday we all went on an outing to have the famous Andy Nelson's ribs. Isn't this picture the greatest? 
Something tells me that in another month or so Max is going to be lunging at our food. He seems pretty curious about it already. 
I made sure to put Max in some of the cute BYU apparel his grandparents gave him for Christmas. So adorable! 
Sunday was the big blessing day, and here is Mr. Max in his little blessing outfit. He didn't make a peep during the blessing, but you could hear him sucking on his pacifier through the microphone. It was cute. It was a wonderful moment and I just felt overwhelmed by how much I love these two boys! 
Later on Max got to have a little bit of cousin time. I love it when Reese reaches out her hand to grab his ... so darling. 
My dad had to leave on Monday and it was so hard to seem him go! When Max got up from his nap I imagined he was looking all around for his new playmate, wondering where he went. Poor guy. 
But Grandpa didn't leave without teaching Max a thing or two about "Gravity Baby" - a game where you put up pillows and see which way the baby will tumble. It's a fun one. 
And that was our weekend. It could be a while until we have another one quite so great.
