Ch-Ch-Changes!

We went to the doctor for Max's four month appointment! I don't know about y'all but I cannot believe that Max is already 4 months old. Crazy! He is growing like a weed (ahh, my little dandelion boy) and is now 17 pounds and 26.5 inches. Yes, that is not a typo, my 4 month old son is the size of a 9 month old. I sorted out a lot of clothes today because he officially cannot be forced to squeeze into a 3 - 6 month onesie.
The doctor declared him the greatest baby she has ever seen and confirmed to us he is a genius in the making! Well, not really but I know that she was thinking it:)
Because of how big he is and because he needs the iron, we were given the go ahead to start solid foods. So, while Max napped off the horror of his shots (and truly, according to him it was horrific), I put together his high chair. When he woke up from his nap I put him in the chair, which amazingly did not fall apart. I let him play to get him used to this new thing. The first picture below is him playing and he was in a good mood. Later at "dinner" time I gave him his first solid food, the oh so yummy rice cereal. You can see below what he thought of this! My son does not like changes!

Happy Father's Day

Lazy Days of Summer

I admit it. I have been super lazy about posting Max photos since summer has arrived. Life has just gotten hectic, but I hope to be more responsible in my mom posting duties!

Summer has been good so far for Max and family. We spent a wonderful week in Oklahoma with the grandparents. Max enjoyed the lavish attention and has since complained that mom doesn't respond as quick as Granny Bop and Grandma Flo. Oh well, such is the life of a baby!

I have decided to return to work in the fall. So, Max and I have been making trips to the school to work in my room and make sure we are ready for the upcoming school year. Now Lane and I are on the hunt for a place for Max during the day. It is hard to find someone to care for the most precious thing in your life.

Here are a couple of pictures of Max enjoying his summer days!

I posted a video on myspace of Max and his mobile. Check out the link! (the video is long and I understand I am probably the only one who wants to watch the whole thing, but a few seconds might make you chuckle)

Max and Mobile

It's Mobile Time

Max is in love with his mobile. You can't really tell from this picture, but he adores it, he worships it, he thinks it is the coolest thing ever. He will seriously lay there and talk to Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore (his favorite)! He loves to see his friends spinning and rocking out to the classic "Winnie the Pooh"! The best part: he will do this for sometimes as long as 45 minutes before becoming bored or tired. That is a serious amount of devotion for a little man his age. He used to LOVE his swing, now it is his mobile; I am sure some day soon he will move on to another toy (the fickle ways of a child) but for now it is all mobile all the time!
