2 months
Maxy Max is 2 months old today, yea! He's getting into the interactive stage, starting to hold his head up a little more on his own, cooing, and smiling big ole smiles at us. Every morning when I come in and say good morning he gets a huge grin on his face. Perfection. 5-7 is still the witching hr around here and being held is almost a mandatory requirement but I keep reminding myself this too shall pass. While dinner is hard to dish out with 1 hand I'm getting a little bit better.
added: i just wanted to mention Adam's schedule has been nice that he's been around for dinner 95% of the time, a big hooray!! So I'm not alone often

First Twilight. Then Glee. Now Hunger Games. Based on my likes I'm pretty sure I should actually be in jr high. However I'm not and I'm lucky enough to have people amuse me or join with me (ahem, Kristy and Michelle).
So I started Hunger Games yesterday afternoon. And I finished it last night. I was so engrossed there was a few minutes there I let Max just watch the TV - he still cat naps every once in a while during burping and I was trying to finish a chapter so I let him only to look down to find him wide awake.
Aside from reading Max and I had lots of cuddle time to make up for the time I was gone Saturday.
saturday-ing
Today was a good day. I spent some alone time with my girl this morning after gymnastics. Then Adam and I took off for the city and the bulls game while Sue, Sara, and Dave watched the littles. It was much needed and very much appreciated to have some time to ourselves/with friends. Three under 3 1/2 is hard. But it was just what I needed to get re-energized for raising babies. Although all my good vibes were quickly dashed after I crunched poor Dylan's fingers in the bathroom door no later than 30 seconds after we got home, we recovered. And even though I know the kids will be awake by 6:30 (at the latest) and it's already much too late for me to be awake, I'm ready for tomorrow! See, energized...
baby whisperer
Last night while I was making dinner Max just wouldn't relax unless I was holding him. Adam was on a call when dinner finished up so I had to put Max in the bouncy seat. Enter Dylan. He walked up and turned on the seat to his preferences and I looked down to see Max closing his eyes and sleeping. Granted it only lasted for a minute but it was long enough to get the kids set with some food.

Max was baptized today. He was our best baby yet, by far. There were a few pouting moments but not one tear. The bigger kids did great too. Dyl was seconds away from sleeping on Ashley but perked up when he saw the set of snacks I packed. Sammie loved having Grace there to entertain/entertain her. Watching the three of them run around afterwards at lunch was a hoot. Thank you to our family and friends for celebrating with us! We again are reminded how lucky we are to have you in our lives.
