6 Months

First Astros Game



More like 6 1/2 months...but close enough! We are thankful for a happy healthy 6 month old. Max had a great check-up (well, other than the shots). He weighs 16 lbs and is 25 3/4 inches tall. He's such a happy baby. He smiles at everyone and loves to talk to them too. He definitely keeps us entertained. He sits by himself now but still doesn't like to be on his stomach for very long and only rolls over when he feels like it. Otherwise he just gets mad and waits for somebody to pick him up or roll him over. Max is also a great sleeper, at least at night. We've had nights when he's slept from 8 pm to 7 am. Typically he goes to bed a little after 8 and gets up about 6. Naps are a different story. He's just started clapping, and he will entertain himself in his exersaucer for 15-20 minutes. He loves that thing! Max has also started eating Cheerios. After he discovered how to chew them, he really like it. He uses his whole hand to try to pick them up but isn't too successful, and even when he gets some in there, he doesn't realize it. I am already starting to dread going back to work in August. I think it's going to be harder than going back after my maternity leave. At least I'll only be working 3 days a week - that doesn't sound so bad!


Who's that cute baby?

The Boy Likes to Eat!



Max has been eating some solid foods for almost 2 months. Avocado is one of his favorites, but no matter what he eats, he says "mmm" through the whole meal. He definitely enjoys the experience and lets us know! Hopefully you can hear him - might have to turn up the volume!
