meeting mr. max

last weekend we finally got to meet mr. max, five-month-old son of my sister, megan, and her husband, davey. as we suspected, this kid is a total doll. he's all smiles all the time and his blue eyes are so striking with his light skin and hair. christian was really sweet to him, which was nice to see. it was fun to watch them notice each other and interact.

it was quite the event the first night they were in town because we had our bennett cousins stop over as well on their way up to new hampshire. basically, we had a big cousin slumber party -- complete with late-night laughter, snacking and not enough sleep. the little bennett girls all doted on max and christian, wanting to pick them up and carry them around. christian, for one, loved all the attention. in fact, he was so wound up from all that was going on that he took three hours to go to sleep that night. yes, three. he fidgeted in the dark for hours, jumping in his crib, talking to himself, etc. ah well. it was worth it to have family in town. it always is.
