Max playing with Aunt Becky

This was Max's first time sitting in his new Bumbo Chair. He really likes being able to sit upright on his own.



On thanksgiving morning, Max was not happy with being left in the living room while I was preparing the yams. I had to move him and his bouncy seat into the kitchen where he could watch me fumble around with pans and sweet potatoes. He especially liked to sit by the sliding glass door so that he could look outside!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Last night, we had dinner at Becky & Eric's house. Jake was nice enough to share his little couch with Max.


Max's 4 month appointment went well. He weighs 14 lbs and 11 oz and measures 25 inches in length. The doctor said that both of those measurements put him in about the 50th percentile for his age. His head circumference was in the 75th percentile.

Max was a trooper for his shots. He got one oral vaccine and three shots in his little legs. He even managed to smile at the nurse through little tears after the first two...but after that third one, he really let us have it. It only lasted a couple of minutes though and then he was just sleepy.

We are on quite a sleeping streak. I'm not sure if it has to do with the shots, but he has slept about 10 hours each night for the last three nights! Mom and Dad are really enjoying it! We can all actually sleep at once...and not feel like zombies all day.

No teeth have popped through yet but he is still gnawing on his hands and drooling like crazy. I suspect that they will break through soon. Tylenol has helped a lot.

On today's agenda: turkey! Hope you have a good holiday!

Max got this outfit from my Aunt Helen...the little dino feet sicks are still a little too big but the rest fits pretty well! He wears a lot of size 6 months these days...growing so fast! He has his 4 month check up at the doctor's office tomorrow morning. We are anxious to see how much he has grown since his 2 month check up.

Here is another photo from last Saturday's shoot.

Just a little sneak peak of the photos that we went and got taken this morning. The boys were real troopers...we are lucky to have such good little guys! More of these to come!

We went out for sushi on Thursday for Jon's birthday. They even brought out a banana tempura sundae with a birthday candle in it!

I happened to be looking through some old photos and thought it would be cute to compare Jake and Max at Halloween this year and last year...especially since Max wore Jake's old costume! Pretty cute cousins!
