Pizza & Baseball

Tonight Mike D, Lisa, & Madison came over for pizza and to watch the Mets game. The kiddo's "played" together for awhile then Max put on his Mets hat and watched the game gangsta style.

Carrots

So, we attempted carrots tonight. Based on the facial expressions below you'd think Max didn't like the carrots. However, evertime I took the spoon away he would start screaming. He'd stop screaming when I put more in his mouth. The issue was that he was sucking on the spoon which resulted in the carrots being airborne. As you can see this led to quite a mess.

First Sickness

Max has come done with his first sickness...a stomach virus. From his picture he seems happy as can be, but the vomiting says otherwise. We got dressed in his "nerd shirt" (a shirt that relates to one of Mike's video games) and headed off to visit the doctor. They got a kick out of his shirt.

Jumperoo

Max is really loving the jumperoo these days. He able to jump around like a crazy man and he's learning to play with the attached toys.



There is just so much to do...should I eat my hand, jump around, or play with the rainbow wheel?!?!?

He's trying to say something...

Max with his race car walker

These days Max just LOVES being held in the standing up position. We think he might skip crawling and just go straight to walking. I figured we'd try out the race car walker that he got from our good friend Betsey. He was a little unsure at first, but in just a few minutes he was scooting along.





After all the playing he passed out with his toy and one sock on, one sock off.

We try sweet potatoes

When Max had his 4 month check up, the doctor said that we should try adding some orange veggies to help with his # 2 issues. During our first try with the sweet potatoes he wasn't very happy and almost looked concerned about what I was trying to do to him.



However, during our second try, I made funny noises and faces and Max seemed to like it a lot better.

4 Months

Time is just flying by. Max is 4 months old today. Here's what he's been up to:
*rolling
*"talking"
*loves when he's in the sitting and standing positions
*eating 6oz every 4 hours (except at night when he's sleeping for 9 hours!)
*wearing 3-6 months clothes
*loving the rainforest jumparoo
*smiling at Mike, me, & Mook

Stats:
Weight - 13.2 pounds (25th percentile)
Height - 26 inches (80th percentile)

He's a string bean!

 

Pizza Night

Tonight Mike D, Lisa, Madison and Fran came over. The boys made pizza from scratch, the kiddo's hung out, and the moms chatted. All was followed by homemade zeppoli's. It was a ton of fun and the food was fantastic.

 

Mommy is 29!

Today was my birthday. This will be the last year of my 20's and that seems pretty crazy! Tonight we headed to my favorite restaurant / Mike's least favorite restaurant, the Olive Garden. Based on the look on Max's face I don't think he's the biggest fan either. Lol. It was a great birthday!

 

Practicing Sitting

 

Tonight we were practicing sitting in the bumbo chair. Max just couldn't stop staring at the fan.

We Love Sleeping :)

 

Both Guys are Sleeping

I had a dentist appointment after work today so I got home a little later than normal. Both guys were sleeping when I got home.

Max & Madison Nap Together

Our friends, Mike & Lisa, came over tonight with their daughter Madison. While the adults enjoyed some yummy food made on our new grill, the kids napped together in the pack and play. Everything was going well until one of them started crying and woke up the other one who then started crying. There was a bit of competition to see who could yell louder :)

Family Photos

Grandma Sandy, Aunt Jenn, Uncle Ben and counsins Vivi & Owen were in town so we all get together for some family photos.
