Many faces of Max

Max is getting so much more animated- I love it! Not to mention huge- I am dying to know what he weighs at his next doctors appointment. I love this first picture because he is making full eye contact with the camera- which is hard to get! It makes me melt every time I look at it.

Here is Max in the middle of a giant laugh/smile. He laughed for real for the first time a few days ago, but he usually makes this face like he is laughing- only no sound really comes out. It's so cute!
Max when he is excited. He always does this when he smiles- first he gets all excited and breathes really fast. He opens his mouth like this and shakes his head and will track you (or whatever he's excited about) with his eyes. He is usually flailing his arms and kicking his legs at the same time!
Sticking his tongue out- as I mentioned a few posts ago he does it all the time. Apparently he has just discovered it. He kinda sticks it out repeatedly like he's licking his lips over and over.

Some other updates on Max: we are still working on a new schedule. I was putting him to bed around 10 so that he would sleep through the night- until about 6. Now I am slowly trying to get closer to putting him down around 7:30 0r 8, which means he probably won't sleep through the night for a while, but I think it will be better in the long run.

Max still poops up his back, up his hip, or out his leg almost every day. ANY SUGGESTIONS?! I use good diapers (pampers or huggies), put them on tight, even tried putting them on so they come way up in the back, but nothing helps. The stuff usually shoots strait up his crack and he ends up with much more in his clothes that in the diaper, so it's not like it's overflowing. I am stumped.

  2. You know, Austin did the samething with all the poop. It was when he figured out that he could get the poop out more efficiently if he pushed a bit. Once her learned that I was changing him every poop! I think it's because it is like hitting a backstop if that makes sense. When you throw something against it with some force it bounces off. When they learn how to push it creates that force and I don't think the diaper can absorn that quickly. Don't worry, it does get better, but I also had to learn the signals, when he started to get the poop face I would wrap my hands around his diaper to keep it close to his body and stay there until he was done... Not near as messy that way! Maybe try that and see what happens. I miss you again! It was so great to see you and adorable Max! :)

  3. Oh wow! I remember those days. I think its something that ALL babies go through, since their poop is breastmilk poop its still pretty runny and goes everywhere. One thing that DID make a difference for Kasen was Huggies Supremes. The Supremes kind seem to be longer, well taller I guess up the back, have you tried that kind yet? This happened with Kasen until about 4 months old or so. Very rarely after that. Good luck!

  9. What fun pictures! I also like Huggies Supreme...that is the worst, and it ALWAYS happens just when you get them in their carseat to go somewhere(usually running 15 minutes late already...for me anyway!) Once you start giving him some cereal it does get better!
