Solid Foods, Take 1

He didn't cry, which in our book means this was a success.

By the end of the meal he was dining like a perfect gentleman.

Everyday Life

There has been much progress this month!  One of the more exciting accomplishments is that Max rolled over for the first time.  I've tried to get footage of him rolling over but he's decided once is enough for now.  Aside from that big milestone there has been plenty of good day-to-day stuff.

Not only has Max discovered what his hands are for, but whatever he gets his grip on goes directly to his mouth...

...even things that are way too big to fit in his mouth.

All ready for a walk in the park!  With the weather warming up quickly there won't be many days left for him to wear his bear jacket.

Max and Ricky love it when dad does his back stretches on the floor.

 This guy likes sitting in the rocking chair...at the moment.  When we are trying to rock him to sleep it's a different story!

Baby Blues

It's one of the fun questions that's been on our minds since the day we found out we were having a baby:  What color will his eyes be?  Will he inherit his dad's brown eyes or his mom's green eyes?  Or will they be the blue that runs in both of our families?

There is still a lot of time for his eyes to change but without even the tiniest fleck of brown in them we feel it's safe to say they won't look like his dad's!

Staring Contest

Sorry it's been a while since I posted any pictures.  Max has been a bit of a difficult baby lately.  Apparently babies go through a growth spurt around the 3 month mark and tend to be fussy.  Fortunately he's finally coming out of it, and with some new skills which I will share in a later post!

Until then, here's a photo of the brothers getting to know each other a little better.

3 Months Old

I tried to get a picture of Max smiling for his 3 month birthday but he was too distracted by the TV.  Only 3 months old and already getting bad habits!

This past week Max got a visit from "Aunt" Stacy.  When she wasn't putting him through baby boot camp they spent time cuddling on the couch.
