Max is six months old today. I can't believe it! A million people can tell you how fast babies grow up but you will never believe it until you have one of your own. Some things about Max right now...
He is finally sleeping through the night! It started immediately when we moved in, at about 5 and a half months. Last night he slept from 8:30 to about 8:00 the next morning. Then I feed him and cuddle with him in bed. He often wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30, then I feed him and he snuggles with Daddy before he gets ready for work. We love our mornings together as a family. It is so nice!
He is getting a lot closer to sitting up! he can sit on my lap for a little while without help if he has something up high to focus on. Otherwise he just folds in half! He is rolling from belly to back like a champ but has yet to roll from back to belly.
He is still slobbering a lot and putting everything in his mouth, but the first tooth hasn't showed up yet.
The mohawk has returned! He started with a ton of hair, went bald, and then over the last month it has come back in soft and blond. It's not as red as it used to be!
Max thinks his Mom and Dad are pretty great! He laughs and smiles at us all the time now. It is such a great feeling when I walk in the room and he gives me one of his big open mouth grins.
He is SUCH a happy baby. He usually only cries when he is hungry or very tired. All my friends always comment on how lucky I am to have such a content baby. I agree!
On a separate note, this is my new bed! I would like to encourage anyone who hasn't been to Down East Home to go. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I am a hard core bargain hunter. I got this Pottery Barn head board for $35, PB tags still on it, and two glass ball Restoration Hardware lamps for $19 each! The headboard was originally 4 or 5 hundred and the lamps were $250 each. Crazy deals! I am obsessed. The best part is, I have totally been lusting after both of these things at the original stores for a long time. I couldn't believe it when I found them at Down East!
I love these pics of Maxwell! I cannot wait till I see you guys 21 days!! YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteThe headboard looks great! I love it. That bedroom reminds me of the one in M.V. With the window right there. Is it a window or sliding glass door?
So I was thinking that I probably talk to you more in the day then I talk to Joe. I need to add up all the hours we sit on the phone!
Those are great pictures of Max. He is so cute. I LOVE your bedroom set. It is so clean and crisp. So refreshing. I sometimes think that my dark furniture is too dark but for now I like it. I like too many different styles, I think I will always find something different that I like.
ReplyDeleteCute pictures! Full moon for Aug. isn't until the 28th! Crap, the one in july was the 30th! I missed it - oh well.
