Planting Flowers

Today we went over to my parents house so Sebastian and my mom could plant the flowers he got her for Mothers Day. Max has been sleeping the whole time, he's been a crank the last couple of days, but I think he's coming out of it he's been really happy today. I went t get him out of his crib this afternoon and he had rolled from his belly to his back. (yes I no I'm supposed to put him to sleep on his back but he refuses to sleep that way). Sebastian rolled over at six weeks to. Can you believe he is six weeks all ready? I weighed him yesterday and he was 11 lbs 4 oz, he's turning into a little chunky monkey!

Max's Blessing

This Sunday we blessed Max. It was a great day, not to mention Mother's Day so it made it extra special for me. Donald gave a wonderful blessing and Max looked adorable in the outfit Donald wore to be blessed in 27 years ago. Here are a few pics I'll post more later.

Three weeks

I can't believe that Max is already three weeks old! He is changing so much and so fast. He has finally grown out of the sleepy stage and lets us know that he is here. It's funny the first 2 weeks Donald and I would joke and say we forget that he's here sometimes cause he's so quite, not anymore! He has a fussy period between 8 pm to 10 pm but then he usually sleeps pretty good as long as he is on my chest. I know I need to stop and have him get used to sleeping by him self but their only this little once, right? Sebastian is still loving being a big brother and always wants Max near him. He is getting really excited to start preschool in the fall. Donald will be finished with school in October and we are looking forward to that. Were not sure if we will be staying in the area do to lack of jobs. They told him Columbus and Akron is more likely were he will find work. We decided that if he gets a job in Akron he will just commute and we will stay here. If it's Columbus then obviously we will be moving. It would be nice to live by the temple and have more of an opportunity to attend. Max was awake for a while yesterday and in a good mood so I took some more pictures of him {clothes on this time, he does not like being naked}.

Max's first photo shoot {sort of}

So today I attempted to take Max's pictures, however he wasn't haven it! He screamed basically the whole time. I was only able to get two good shots. Hopefully he will be more cooperative tomorrow. I really want some good pictures of him while he is little. The last two days have been pretty rough Max has been crying non stop, I'm crossing my fingers that it's not colic.

{Max wouldn't cooperate and cross his legs so I opted to blur it out because I really like the picture}

A Fun Week

We are starting to get the hang of being a family of four around here so this week we decided to actually venture out of our house. We had a Easter egg hunt at our friends Jim and Leslie's {forgot my camera}, we went over to my parents house a couple of times, and the past two days the weather was really nice so we went to the park. Today we packed a picnic lunch and went to the duck pond at Mill Creek. After our picnic and a little soccer we ventured to the rose gardens. All the tulips were in full bloom along with a bunch of other flowers, it smelled so yummy.

Do they look alike?

Two Weeks!!

Max was two weeks old yesterday. He had a Dr's appointment on Tuesday and he gained 12oz, what a chunk! He is up to 6 lbs 9 oz now. He continues to be really sleepy, however yesterday was awake for 2 hours {not in row} so he is starting to become more alert. He only wakes up once in the middle of the night to eat on his own usually somewhere between 2:45 and 4:00am depending on what time he took his night feeding. The Dr says I don't have to wake him any more to feed him since he is gaining weight. Sebastian continues to be a big help and is adjusting really well.

{ Max is about the same size as one of Sebastian's stuffed animals, Sebastian thought it was funny and wanted us to take a picture}
