5 Month Max

Well, it's happened, Max rolled over for the first time...as soon as Mommy went out of town that is!! Seriously, Daddy called a couple hours after Mommy left for "GW10" with the ladies and TA-Dah! Max was on his tummy after his nap! He continued to roll over but nobody saw it throughout the weekend...and then, he did it, he rolled over from back to front (that was his first "roll" - see 4 Month Max) and then front to back, all in one big swoop! He loves it and is almost always on his tummy when we go to get him from his crib or when playing on his playmat. So fun!

Other than that, he's growing & changing ALL the time, although we won't get to know his percentile or the actual numbers (height/weight) until his 6 month check up beginning of September. He weighed in at 15 lbs, 14 oz. and 25 1/2 inches at his 4 month (75% all the way around) but we KNOW he's bigger now...definitely getting to be a little tank when you go to pick him up. :) He's also babbling like crazy, forming his "words" more and more - we're hearing a lot of dah-dah-dah and mah-mah-mah but no distinct "Dada" or Mama" quite yet...can't wait for that moment!


So we're having a great summer, visiting family and friends and staying VERY busy - we love it and look forward to upcoming weddings and more babies (not us, family and friends) on the way!

Lots o' Love,
ECM-K

***The pic is the day he first rolled over (07/30), it's how Daddy found him when he got up from his afternoon nap. :)

4 Month Max

Finally, an update!

Max Facts:

-Seriously considering rolling over from back to front and front to back - which will he choose? He's gaining more and more momentum for both, either way, we're enjoying the anticipation!

-Tummy Time isn't such a "problem" for Mister Max anymore, especially when Daddy does his entertainment act, hilarious! He's even discovered that when he gets tired he doesn't have to put his face in the ground, he can just lay his head to the side - nice work buddy!

-Laughing more and more (there is some great documented video footage), LOTS of talking and had his first real SCREAM just the other day, and he liked it, hmmmmm, uh oh?

-Reaching, grabbing and tasting EVERYTHING!

-Charming everyone in his path...such a stud.


It's amazing, almost 4 1/2 months ago Max blessed our lives and it's only the beginning...he makes any day, a good day. :)

Love, Us

PS: Pic is from 4th of July on Poppi and Nana's boat, lots o' fun!

3 Month Max

Well today Max is officially 3 months, at 10:05pm anyway. :) He's cooing, smiling, awesome at 'tummy time' and simply the best. He's so good with other people and loves to play on his playmat now - sometimes even nap on it. It's hilarious, he wipes himself out when playing so he takes a quick catnap then begins playing again, did that this morning already. Happy 3 month Bday Max, we love you with all of our hearts. Love, M&D

The First Post

Well, Erik decided that we needed to start one of these crazy blogs so we could make sure all those, near and far, could keep in touch with us whenever they wanted...so here we are! :)

Currently, Max is sleeping in his favorite place, his swing. He'll be three months old on June 4th, it's so hard to imagine that he came into our lives just a short time ago. We love him with all our hearts, he makes the world that much brighter and special everyday.

Erik and I are doing great, typical. ;)

More updates and photos to come.

With love,
CK
