Sunday

Christopher was Mr. Personality over the weekend. At church on Sunday he pulled out all of his best tricks. During the first prayer the church was completely silent until Christopher decided to make one of his loudest raspberry sounds. We were in the very front, and I'm sure everyone could here. Our pastor even started laughing. During communion we went to the front and Pastor normally gives him a blessing. This time Christopher couldn't understand why he didn't get a communion wafer. He reached into the container and almost got one. He did the same with the wine, but I was quick enough to stop him from that one. During the last hymn, the LG really let loose. He "sang" all of the words he knows loud enough for everyone to comment at the end that they could hear him. Pastor even told us to write down how funny he was during the service in his baby book so we remember. I don't think we'll forget this one for a while.

Later that afternoon, Max came to visit from Boston. Christopher and I were at the playground so Conan and Max met us there. The LG had his first case of stranger anxiety. He looked at Max for a few seconds, took everything in, and then burst out in tears. I had never had him do that before. I felt so bad, but I couldn't stop laughing. Of all the people Christopher's seen in this city, crazy people on the subway, bus, in Times Square. He picks the guy who just graduated from Harvard Law and couldn't be more normal. Poor Max had to just stand away from Christopher while he composed himself for a while. We went back to our place and as soon as we set Christopher down he crawled over to Max and started playing with him. By the end of Max's time here Christopher thought he was great. It was so nice to see Max, I hope Christopher didn't scare him off from visiting again soon!
