We've Got to Stop Meeting Like This...

This is the first blog post by mommy as dictated to daddy, as it is 1:15 in the morning and Max is eating like there is no tomorrow...wait, it is tomorrow...or is it yesterday?

What day is it? What week is it? What month is it? Alas, they all seem to run together, in a state of baby-filled bliss.

Our little Max amazes us more and more every day. From his ever changing features to his seemingly constant growth to his evolving personality, he loves looking outside and his daddy has discovered that bouncing in his "Woodland Friends" bouncer is a great way to appease him when we are trying to eat dinner...or any other meal.

We look forward to the day when Max learns to roll over on his own since he clearly loves his tummy time and we suspect that he will love sleeping on his tummy! He already refuses to stay on his back; he spends most of his sleeping hours on one side or the other.

Diaper change time continues to be a challenge as he is either incredibly unhappy with the whole idea or else is trying to win an Olympic Medal for being the wiggliest baby in the universe! His little legs seem to be bent just when you need them to be straight and inexplicabley get kicked out straight just when you need them to be bent. It is really quite uncanny. Usually we try to tag team him with one of us using the brightly colored rattling caterpillar named, "Mr. Katz" as a distraction. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much.

(Yes, Paul, the caterpillar is named in your honor, but it was named by David, not be me, so direct complaints in that direction!)

Diaper rash continues to be an issue, but seems to be improving. We should buy stock in the Desitin company!

Max is looking forward to having his first full bath in the next day or two since his cord finally fell off last weekend. It will be fun to see his reaction since having his hair washed is one of his favorite activities!

Well, that's it for now! Max seems to be sacking out again and we need to get some shut eye when we can. Thanks for checking in!
