Nothing New

16 weeks tomorrow

Sorry its been a while, we really don't have much to report. I'm not sure what we're always busy doing but the days seem to pass so quickly and Max is getting so big! We're in between Dr's visits so I'm not sure what the measurements are but he feels SO heavy. He's doing great, getting over a little cold but he seems to be getting better. One of the most exciting recent developments is his laugh. He usually just has a little laugh (mostly when Daddy tickles him) but last week, oddly enough he was just nursing and stopped and looked up at me with all smiles (can you tell why it takes him an hour to nurse, we have many pauses like that) and just did a HUGE belly laugh. It was the greatest sound ever, of course it made Nate and me laugh so he continued for a couple seconds. We haven't had another one yet but we're waiting anxiously!

He's a tubbo wubbo! He's taking almost 7oz when he takes his bottle. We're still on the same eating schedule and he's sleeping well at night. We still have no regular nap schedule but that's pratically my fault cause our sleeping habits are different when mommy is around to sleep in with and I'm too selfish to give up sleeping in with my boy to try to work out a schedule. I'm pretty sure when we go for our 4 month visit we'll start on cereal, should be fun.

He's starting to recognize routine which is fun, like he knows when his bath is coming and what happens with that process (not that it stops him from screaming for his bottle afterwards even though he gets it the same time EVERY night). He's also able to control himself more to swat at and hold toys which is kinda fun. He's still at a tough age though where he really wants to do more but just can't. Its these weeks when I'm glad I have a bouncer, swing, play mat, jumper, AND pack and play cause we kinda go from one thing to the next fairly quickly, though on his calmer days he'll chill with one for a while.

We actually made it out for a walk last week during our one day of 40 degree heat wave! I'm afraid he'll be allergic to fresh air, poor thing.

So anyway, here are some new pics, don't you wanna just pinch those cheeks!!!

He sat up to the table for Grandpa Jeff's B-day dinner, that was his tomato there. Dad was just trying to get rid of it.

He can't touch the floor yet (daddy sometimes puts a phone book under him!) but there is lots to do on this thing so it keeps him entertained!

Who's that handsome boy??

Sorry, but the gear didn't work. Luckily we have a lot of yellow to wear on Sunday.

Take before the game obviously....

He loves his peanut shell, how funny does he look! Oh and another trick he's learned is to pull mommy's hair so I got it all cut off, you can kinda tell, though this isn't my most fashionable picture...

It puts him to sleep sometimes, even while vacuuming! (Oh, and I got my Haan steam floor cleaner so I'm ready to be spic and span without chemicals for a mobile little man.)
