First we went into the city Saturday morning to the Natural History Museum. It was SO cold and windy that Nate had to let us off at the door because you couldn't even walk a few blocks outside (well, he had to of course but I didn't want Max out there!). But he loved it; he liked the animals the best but just likes being out and about. We also met my old boss there in the museum cafe for lunch and she walked around with us for a while too, it was a nice visit. Unfortunately it was crowded and stroller central so I didn't want to be one of those annoying people trying to snap shots without other people walking in front so we have no museum pictures but that's ok.
Then we headed out to visit with Aunt Ellie, Uncle Josh and cousins Emma and Luke; though I think Max's favorite part was their new kitties, which he loved! We had a nice visit with lots of good food. Of course Max has decided that he doesn't like to sleep in pac&plays anymore so he did end up in bed with us which is just awful because he moves around SO much and we had no room and were slapped and kicked all night (not to mention its already getting uncomfortable for me to sleep as it is). But other than being a little tired the next day we had a great time.
(Some of these are Ellie shots, as you'll probably be able to tell!)
His favorite thing there ended up being the pom-poms from craft box, but Jake liked playing with them too...
He was shoving them down the slit and seeing where they went!
The cats were very tolerant, thank goodness....
He might like to eat like kitties eat too...
He's also now learned how to run and boy is running fun!
I had brought his nice Christmas outfit down for a photo shoot but apparently sleeping a real bed does wonders for his already crazy hair. Of course Aunt Ellie couldn't resist a photo shoot anyway and got some great shots! (I can't believe how old he looks, makes me want to cry!)
Random side update about the Maxwell.... just before Christmas he finally gave up that morning bottle, yay! He's still taking two naps and I just gave in and am fine with it. Its too cold and miserable to do anything anyway and I like having one nap to get chores done and one nap to sleep myself! He finally got his 5th and 6th teeth in at the top, the two next to the middle ones but that's still it for now. He's eating well and sleeping well (as long as its in his crib) and doing great!
I'm huge, way bigger than I should be but its mostly belly so I guess that's ok. We get our ultrasound on the 19th and are very anxious!! I'm not feeling sick anymore which is a blessing but still kinda tired and lazy which I guess it to be expected.
