This week, Mr. Max made some new friends, had some quality time with his grandma Donna, and visited the nice lady that delivered him into this world!
On Tuesday, Mr. Max went with mommy and daddy to visit Dr. Kirsch for mommy's five week postpartum checkup. Mommy got a clean bill of health, her blood pressure is back to normal (YAY!!!) and she's now 'allowed' to do the things she'd previously been restricted from doing. Naturally, mommy celebrated by doing the dishes, cleaning the floor, doing laundry, scrubbing the counters....etc. etc. (She said to me last night, "Gee...my tummy muscles feel a little sore." Ya think?) Mommy has been going a little stir crazy, and daddy is quite happy to let her test the boundaries of her newfound freedom...perhaps just not all at once, though.
Also on Tuesday, Max finally met all of his friends in the Arts office at IUSB! Mostly he slept for Marvin, though he did manage to toot in poor Marvin's hand while he was holding Max....Our bad, we forgot to tell Max that it isn't polite to toot in the Deans hand!
Then Blanqui, Michelle, Tamea and David Barton all got to meet him. We have nice pictures from all of this, but we conveniently forgot our camera at grandma's house the next day!
Not to be deterred, grandma Donna posted a few for us that will be the first several pictures you'll see in the slideshow to the right. Kudos to grandma Donna for her ingenuity!
Wednesday saw a flurry of errands, including a run to Babie's 'r' Us, before stopping in to visit Grandma Donna, where the Beems all took naps. (Mommy and daddy in the other room, Max on Grandma Donna. Go figure.) Carrie had the foresight to bring the bouncer for Max while we had supper at grandma's. If Max starts to get a little fussy during mealtimes, we can usually bounce him in that for a bit to hold off a feeding while mommy gets fed.
Max is growing! We measured him at over 22 inches long. He's starting to, er..."max out" some of his 0-3 month clothes in length, but not width....
Looking forward to visits from Grandpa Paul, Grandma Sylvia, Nanna and Gramps and Aunt Becky!
