"Hi Mac!"

A few days ago I was folding laundry on the bed and Mac was playing on the floor. I looked over at him, and he looked up at me with an expression like he was really concentrating, and lifted his arm like he was waving at me. I was so surprised...who taught him that? I smiled and waved back, and he smiled too. A few minutes later I decided to test this new skill out. I said "Hi Mac!" and smiled and waved at him. He smiled and waved back at me! The whole rest of the day he would look over at me every few minutes and wave...while he was playing, eating, even while I changed his diaper. I think all in all we did the waving thing about a hundred times that day. Now he seems to have moved on...but I was happy to catch this wave this morning in the kitchen. Ellis says he looks more like and Indian saying "how." (He is part American Indian after all).

Another cute thing that he does: while I am in the kitchen doing dishes or cooking, he likes to look for me in his mirror when he is playing. He smiles and then goes back to playing with the wooden spoons and tupperware!

Snow!

So it's a little late, but hey, I thought I should at least document the amazing snowfall we had here in NC this past month. The biggest and best one was 1/2 foot...not too shabby for Durham! Here are some pictures:

Lax Date

Last Friday Mac and Me (Amanda) we to our first lacrosse game together. It was really fun! We saw the Duke Blue Devils trounce Denver, and we got in free on account of Mac's cuteness (at least that's what I like to think). My favorite part was watching the amazing athletic feats. Mac's favorite parts were kicking his feet together to make noise with his shoes (one of his first times wearing shoes b/c I finally found some that would fit over his fat feet), and banging on the fence and laughing/screaming. It was a pretty sweet time.
