Month Two with Max

Month two brought shots which was so hard to see. He weighed in at 13 lbs for his two month appointment. It broke my heart watching him meltdown with the shots. He started to smile more in December. He loves being talked to and asked questions. He will chat and coo back to me whenever I talk to him. 

He still hates being worn but loves walks. He does great in his car seat. He likes to be held upright and facing the world. He still grunts most mornings to get his poops out. 

My parents visited in November so it was great to spend time with them. He loves being burped by them!

He enjoys Iron and Wine the band, they always seems to calm him. He naps most mornings in his swing. He loves being on his Dad’s shoulder, also a place that calms him or puts him to sleep. 

He is social and does really well in new settings. He eats 5 ounces every 2.5 or 3 hrs. He is also starting to sleep 6-7 hr stretches at night. He has been a champ when babysat. We found his nanny in November who has a boy a month older than Max, they will be pals. She will watch them twice a week at our home. 

He started to like baths more in December. He hates getting out of the tub but he started to smile more while I sing Scrub-lub-ahhh!! 

Our favorite thing is to bring Maxwell to our bed each morning. We cuddle with him and he usually falls asleep for another few hours. 

Parenthood has been such a wild adventure but we can’t imagine life without Maxwell. He is truly the best little dude.
