Auntie Andrea and Chris live directly behind us. There are about 4 acres between our two houses, so it isn't like we can look into each other's windows, but they share the backyard border with us. With the warmer weather, Andrea has taken to yelling out her kitchen window at Max whenever we're outside and she's home and see's us. It's cute, although Max doesn't seem to get that he has to yell back. He usually just stares or talks very, very quietly.

Yesterday morning while we were getting ready for our day, Max walked over to the window and started pointing outside and saying "Auntie" and "Chris". This isn't anything new and I just did what I normally do and say yes, they do live over there. Well then he started yelling "Ove you!, Chris!, Auntie!, Ove you!". Then after he didn't get any response back he just turned from the window and went on with his day. So, he doesn't quite understand that you can't just yell at the window and they'll magically appear, but it was cute to see him at least trying!

We also had a bit of a photo op yesterday so I figured I'd better post a couple of my favorites. We've been working with Max on saying that he is "two" and showing it with his fingers. If you ask him how old he is, more than likely he'll say "tree". Why he says three instead of two I don't know, it's quite frustrating. And then he'll usually hold up four fingers, but that is because he's still learning to hold down two of them. So here he is practicing showing two fingers.

Rory was having a grand old time watching Max play and mommy chasing him around saying "two" to his "tree". She's been very much enjoying spiting, by blowing between her lips or sticking her tongue out saying "plllllll". It is funny and she loves when you do it back.

She also started to attempt clapping. Whenever we'd clap she's slap her left hand into her right. We should have her clapping with both hands in no time! Also, apparently she was waving to Max and my parents this weekend. We weren't successful in getting her to copy us at that last night, but she was really into the clapping so we'll try again tonight!
