Gettin Dunked

The Max man had his second swimming lesson today and his daddy decided to dunk him for the first time.

Here he is swimmin away! He really just wants the toy but we'll pretend he's a natural!!!

Friends!!!

These are some VERY cute pictures of Maxon and his triplet friends! Jack, Owen, and Everett. Aren't they cuties?!

(as you can imagine, it was difficult to get all of them looking at the same time) :)

Not too sure about this!

Hmmm ... not sure he likes this rice cereal stuff! :)

Approximately 5 1/2 months

Well, gosh, I obviously have not been great at this blog thing so far. Once I returned to work, I really didn't have time for much of anything, or energy I guess. Maxon is doing wonderful. After he turned about 4 months to 4 1/2 months old, he has been the happiest, "smiley-est" baby I have ever seen! He only really cries when he is tired. And during other wake times he is busy playing, "talking", and smiling. He has been rolling from tummy to back since he was 4 1/2 to 5 months old. He is being a little slow on rolling back to tummy, but it seems that will happen any day now. Maxon likes to work his abs and pull himself to sitting or standing with help from mom or dad. He loves to play with his toys on the floor. He likes any toys that rattle when he shakes them, and will shake them so hard and fast that I think he will hurt his little hands/arms!

Nick and I have been taking Maxon to the pool lately and he has been enjoying that. I think we may take him to baby swimming lessons this summer; we are very excited about that! Max is getting more affectionate and social lately, and has given mommy hugs and kisses (baby kisses) on a number of occasions. LOVE IT!!! :)

Maxon has been doing well with sleeping and eating: He has been sleeping about 9 hours per night on average and takes 1-2 naps per day. We have just started rice cereal this week. If I can get the picture of his first bite of cereal on the computer, I will post it; it is hilarious! He is doing better now after a few days and seems to enjoy it.

And the best piece of news yet ... Mommy is done working for the summer!!! I have eight weeks home with my little guy - SO HAPPY!!! :)
