Excuse Me, Excuse Me!

Very excited here, just got my first tooth!! That thing was tough to break through but the bottom left did it today!! Yippee! Only what 26 to go? Whew-
And I can sit up now all by myself and play with my toys! LOVE IT!
Gotta go play...love you! Max

6 Months Old

Whew! Half way to my first birthday, whoa!! Things are awesome here, I cry and people come running. Although today at my 6 month check up, the doctor told my parents to let me cry it out??? What's up with that? I like making my mom get up every 45 minutes at night to feed me and rock me, why would the doctor say that? I weighed in at 17 pounds and 25 1/2 inches tall (or 2 feet one and half inch as I like to say). We just got back from Lakeside where we played hard for a week, rode bikes, fished, ate ice cream and saw fireworks. I learned to roll into other rooms and under furniture and can sit alone for a minute before I dive for toys then scoot on my tummy. I finally decided this baby food stuff they kept trying to feed me isn't too bad, especially washing it down with some juice. I love to feed myself and make a huge mess for my mom to freak out about! hehe! Summer is great, lots of fun and I get to pull my sisters hair all day long :) Life is Great!!! Except for this crying it out thing...

5 months old

Haven't been the best at blogging lately. So much going on with end of school activities, but glad to say now summer is finally here and we have all pinky promised to keep it relaxed, fun and in the sun. Max is so awesome, such a happy boy, always smiling so big, eyes big and bright and his laugh is the best! He is a mover though, he is rolling all over and can't be trusted. His legs are so strong, Pat thinks he will walk before he crawls. All he wants to do is stand. He weighs in at a little over 16 pounds and just over 2 feet tall. His birth hair is falling out and lighter blonde hair is coming in. He has some crazy pieces though, I tell ya some of them are 4 inches long and stick straight up!!! His sleeping habits are not the best, he goes about every other night where he will do awesome (like 10 hours) then the next night he will get up 5 times. He hates baby food of all kinds and cereal, just spits it right back out and laughs at us. He spends his days going on walks, watching Elmo, reading Elmo books (which he grabs and eats him), wrestling with daddy, laughing and watching the girls, playing with his toys and now swimming. He has been in the pool a couple times and just is amazed. Lets see..did I forget anything??? Oh yeah, and he is super super cute and gives the best wet slobbery kisses!!!

4 Months Old

I know, I know I always start off by saying "so hard to believe" he is 4 months old but seriously time is flying and we are having so much fun!!! He is so social (and a flirt), the minute the girls get off the bus he squeals and kicks his legs like crazy. He is so entertained by our neighborhood kids, you can tell he wants to play so bad. He loves Elmo now and not to mention his soaps:) We had his 4 month check up today, he weighed in at 15 pounds even and is 2 feet tall! He is developing perfect and is ahead of the game so far for his age. His bottom right tooth can be seen and will be poking through any day. The only fault of his is ours to blame, a bit too spoiled when it comes to sleeping. When he whimpers we come a running!! Some nights he will sleep 10 hours and others he gets up 3 times a night. Off to go try cereal for the first time, we shall keep you posted on that mess...

Exciting Day!

Max rolled over today! He was doing tummy time which he has been doing so well and getting so strong with his upper body, then all of a sudden he was on his back and the look on his face was priceless, absolutely priceless. He didn't know what to think and was so surprised in himself that he was now on his back. After the bottom lip stopped quivering enough, he then continued to do the same trick over and over....until I got the video recorder out of course, then it was all tears on his tummy. Now we shall see if he does it for daddy tomorrow!

Time sure does fly..

So hard for us to believe Max is 14 weeks old already. He cracks us up, we have never heard a baby toot or burp so loud in our lives (some day he will hate us telling you that!). He is sitting up so well with just a little help from us. He is grabbing everything; mostly necklaces, hair, and lips. We are anxiously awaiting to hear him laugh out loud. He squeals and comes so close to a good old giggle...but not yet. He loves dancing, listening to music, watching TV, reading books, baths, going on walks and even shopping! He is really only unhappy when he is hungry which seems to be a lot lately. Not sure if he is going through a growth spurt or what but he is going backwards in his sleep habits. Was almost sleeping through the night from 9p-6a and now for some reason getting up at 2a, 5a and 7a (sometimes at midnight too)...urgh....needless to say we are trying to get this switched back around as quickly as possible. Could be teething too, since he sucks on his fist all day and drools like crazy. Keep ya posted...

Happy Easter!

What a joy having a 3 month old brings to the holidays and family. He went to visit the Easter Bunny and sat on his lap, he was so small in the bunny's arms, the hand pretty much covered up Max's face! Too cute! The girls loved dressing him and making sure the Easter Bunny included him Easter morning. So hard to believe how fast time is going. He is developing everyday, smiling like crazy, copying our faces, strengthening his neck and legs. He loves listening to singing (well except for when Mom does it, Kylie says :) and watching baby Einstein. His eyes glaze over and he stares...but nothing tops staring at his ceiling fan and light! He is so content and such a happy boy, unless he is hungry or tired, then watch out. His sleeping is still going awesome, most nights getting up once, maybe twice every once in a while. Looking forward to the weather warming up so he can experience the fun of being outside.
