St. Patty's day fun!

March Madness!

We recently flew to Alexandria, VA to visit Sara, Ian, Lucy, and Harper. This was Max's first plane ride and he had a blast on the plane. He had his own seat, liked to look out the window, made funny faces when the plane landed, and slept. We had a great trip, even though it went by way to quick. Lucy talks nonstop, Harper doesn't stop crawling or pulling up on things, and Max loved to watch both of them play. Max is also sitting up better on his own, although if you aren't sitting with him he plunges head first into the carpet (good thing he is wearing a helmet!) he talks non stop and loves to say da da da, and he loves to eat oatmeal, sweet potatoes, pears, and applesauce. It has already been a month since Max started wearing his helmet and his is doing great with it. He never fusses when we put it on, and I can already tell that it's working. 2 more months to go!

Bouncy Swing Fun!

Back in Business

We have had a busy month full of power outages, gas leaks, basement remodel, painting, colds, and how could we forget the helmet! Max is really learning to entertain himself for longer periods of time now, which is nice. He loves to babble, drool, play with all his toys, especially the ones he can put in his mouth, bounce in his new bouncy swing, watch his Baby Einstein video, roll over, and eat. He is eating rice cereal and fruit twice a day. At his 6 month checkup he weighed 13 lbs 9.5 oz and is 24 inches long. Except for a snotty nose he is doing great. The doctor thinks he is currently teething and will probably start to crawl soon since he is so strong. He doesn't mind his helmet even though he has to wear it for 23 hrs a day. We think he is still super cute even with the helmet on!

Homeless Again!

We have been kicked out of our house again!! This time it is due to a gas leak in our basement, not a power outage. I cannot post new pictures yet b/c I do not have my camera cord to download photos. Hopefully we will be back up and running tonight!

Max loves to wear hats

For the record, I did not purchase the UL hat, it was given to Max as a gift from Joan, Tom, Max and Katie.

Max's new summer hat!

Yummy!

Over the past few weeks Max has started to eat rice cereal in the mornings and sometimes at night. He did not like it at first, but now that he has gotten use to the idea of a spoon, he really likes it. Next up, baby food!
