Max - 5 Months

It is hard to believe another month has past!  Time flies when you aren't getting any sleep, I guess!  This RSV bug is a nasty thing.  Max had to take one week off of daycare, and we even made one trip to the ER.  Poor Max was pretty sick,  He actually seemed to be recovered a couple weeks ago, but, sadly, that only lasted a few days and then the coughing and congestion came back.  Despite being a little sick, Max is a very smiley, good-natured baby.

Max still loves bath time and it is something we try and do every night. His latest trick in the bathtub is SPLASHING!  He'll grab his ankles and then slap his legs down on the water to make a splash.  His whole face lights up when this happens like he has just made an amazing discovery!  All day at work, I look forward to getting wrist deep in soapy water with my smiley and slippery little man.

Besides starting to eat solid foods, Max's other big update this month is that he is rolling from back to tummy and tummy to back.  Although I put him to sleep on his back, he has now decided to be a stomach sleeper like his daddy.

Bottomline; I am absolutely in love with this fun, roly-polly boy!!

Happy Valentines Day!

I found some angel wings that were part of an old college halloween costume, and the rest is history. I never thought I would be the kind of parent to dress my child in a gimmicky, cliche costume... but I couldn't resist.

Happy Valentine's Day from our little cupid!
