Finally, New Pictures!

Max slept through the night!

Max weighs about 8 lbs now. And he slept through the night for the first time last night. We don't expect that to be the norm, but it sure was nice. We're really starting to see him change before our eyes now. He's put on a lot of weight and has begun to really engage you with his eyes and tracking.

We're excited he's starting to fit into all these newborn clothes we have.

We'll try and get some new pictures up this week.

New Pictures!

Sorry it's been a while since our last post. We've busy this last week. I am back to work full time now, and we have also lined up full time child care for Max at 'Little Bear Child Care' here in Carmel. We're excited he'll be so well cared for, and so close to our home.

We've had a lot of family visitors over the last week or so. Here are some new pictures of Max.

'Chunky Monkey'

Max had his first visit to his pediatrician yesterday. He weighed a whopping 6 lbs 10 oz! Doctor weighed him twice to make sure it wasn't a mistake. So in just two and half weeks Max has gained about a pound and a half. That's really good. He looks and feels a lot bigger as well. Daddy can't just 'single hand' him all the time anymore.

Anyway, that's the news in Max land for this weekend.

'Mommy Mommy!'

I have a funny story to share. Earlier this week Chaille was taking a nap so I was on Daddy duty and Max and I were just hanging out like fellas when I heard our doorbell ring. I answered the door and see two young bright eyed girls about 8-10 years old. Even all bundled up with hats and scarves, I recognized them as the Ogg girls that lived down the street.

They asked if I wanted to buy any girlscout cookies. I asked if they could come back later because we just got a new baby and I was busy taking care of him. They squeeled and said "You got a new baby!? What's his name?", each word escalating in pitch. I said "His name is Max." They turned around and ran off the porch and yelled...

"Mommy, Mommy! They have a new baby and they named it after our dead dog!!!"

Making Faces

Sorry it's been a while since we've made a post. It's been a busy weekend with family and visitors, but I did capture this great video of Max making some faces at Grandma Julie.



The dogs are home and both Cash and Ally were perfect around Max. It was so nice to have all 5 of our family members on Saturday night to watch football. Until the Colts lost. I was pretty upset, but great thing about babies, they're an instant cure to everything.

First Full Day at Home

We we're up a bit last night. Max slept so much during the day he was awake and fussy for a while in the wee hours. But he eventually settled down. Mom and Dad didn't sleep to well because they worried about Max all night. I think tonight we'll sleep better knowing he's ok even while we're asleep.

Today has been great. Max was a happy baby all day and really started to eat a lot this evening. Grandma Julie came by and held him for a long time and even fed him. Max was very awake for a while so we're hoping he sleeps better tonight. So far it looks iffy. But we got some cute videos that hopefully I can get up tomorrow.
