Tooth #1

We discovered Max's 1st tooth Sunday evening. He'd been a little fussy during the week, not want to play by himself as long as usual.  He needed to be nursed completely to sleep a few nights as well, which is unusual for him. By Sunday he was sporting bright red cheeks and mega amounts of drool. We survived without any night wakings! The next one might not be as easy.  I was up with him at 2:30 am and 4:30 am last night - for the first time in weeks or even months.
Update: Tooth #2 cut through a week later. Yeah for Max cutting teeth while Mommy's at work!

He Did It!

Miles made a "poo poo" in the potty! And suddenly I understand the hype and excitement of this milestone.  Sorry Miles - someday you'll be mortified by this picture and blog posting. Sorry Everyone Who's Never Potty Trained a Child - this probably looks and sounds disgusting.  But we're pretty excited today!

Max is on the Move

Here's Max at 5 months!
He's been spending lots of time on the floor in the living room practicing rolling. It's starting to pay off - as of yesterday he is now able to move across the entire length of the room between shimmys, squirms, shoves and rolls.

Miles has been trying to show Max how to crawl.
 He's not buying into it yet.
But - he's still our "smiling Max."

Well . . . most days.
