Good Morning


This is what I found in the crib this morning.  How can I be upset about the rogue hand that gets free from the sleeper when there is such a great smile!

I am not sure who is feeding Max the bottle.  I don't see Dad's hands anywhere!  I love the look Max is giving Brian, it is like he is saying I got this I don't need any help.

Girls Night Out

On Wed Max and I went to Kim's house for Girls Night Out Christmas.  We had a great time visiting with the girls. 
Max really enjoyed visiting with all the ladies but we only got a picture with the hostess with the mostess, Kim.

Hopefully this works.  I am still trying to figure out how to post a video here so until then you can go to Youtube to see some videos that we have made of Max.


So today was a rainy day, and the best thing to do on a rainy day take a nap.  This is how Max spent the better part of today

Visit with Santa

On Sunday we went to see Santa! Max did really well, he slept until it was just about our turn. When it was his turn to met the big guy he did not cry or even make a sad face. You can't really see his My First Christmas outfit because Max was reaching for the sky and Santa brought his arms down so they would be out of his face. The outfit is too cute but a bit warm for the south. He really did not even need a blanket with it on.

Travels in the real world


Max is really smiling a lot these days.  This is the first time I was able to get a picture of him really smiling at me.
On Wednesday we went up to work to introduce Max to everyone and to join in for the Christmas lunch.  It was also a way to spend some time out of the house since Brian was out of town that night and it was the first time it was just Max and I for almost 2 days.  Stacy was excited to get a turn holding him.

On Saturday, we took Max out for his first lunch in public.  Of course it was to a Mexican restaurant. 



Michelle came all the way from Texas by way of Nashville to get some snuggles with Max.
On Saturday, Amy, John and Sophie came over for the day to meet Max to visit with Monica and Michelle.  We had a great visit with everyone.

Christmas Tree

Today we went to get Max's 1st Christmas tree.  He really enjoyed the shopping experience, he slept in the Moby wrap the whole time.  I am sure the cashier at Pike thought I was crazy since I came into the store twice to put on the wrap since it was cold outside and I did not want Max to have to get out of the car before he was wrapped up.  This is the tree he wanted, but it would not fit on top of the Durango so we went with a more reasonable tree.
Here is the tree we decided on.  We have the lights up but the ornaments will have to be done on another night!

6 weeks

Time is just flying by!  Max had a great bath time yesterday before he posed for his 6 week photo session.  He is getting so long we had to try on 3-4 outfits before we found one that was long enough.
On Friday Max started "seeing" the mobile above him in the swing.  It was too cute to watch him watch the fish swim around.

5 weeks old

We had a weight check on Friday and Max is growing growing growing.  He is now 21 inches long and 8 pounds 6 ounces.  Here is his 5 week picture.  I know I am already missing the milestones, I forgot to use the date board this week :)  This is Max having some tummy time, I know it looks like a nap but it started out as tummy time.

On Saturday, Max got to meet more of the family.  On the way back from Indiana Grandpa Roger, Nalini and Cherrie stopped by to meet Max.  We only got a quick visit since they had been driving for 12 hours and still had 6 more to go.

On Sunday the Dunn Family came by to get some Max time.  Riley was too cute, she went straight to the sink to wash her hands and when I came to living room she already had the boppy around her waist and was waiting for Max.








Monica had to fight Max away from Riley to get her snuggles in.  We asked Max who loves visitors and Max raised his hand.

Happy Thanksgiving


Max had a big Thanksgiving Day.  Nettie, Kathy, Eli and Eliza came up to meet Max and have Thanksgiving with us and my Mom.  I had my own adventures going out to the grocery store without Max to get a pie for desert.   We had a great time playing with the E's and Nettie and Kathy were a great help getting everyone fed, changed and napping.  The E's are exactly 4 months older than Max and it is amazing how much more interactive they are.  We have a ton of pictures but I will just post a few for you.
 The E's are too cute!



This is the picture that Nettie and I will insist be shown at Max and Eliza's wedding.  Yes that is right we have already prearranged their marriage.

I just can't believe that little Max will get as tall as the E's!

One Month Old


Can you believe Max is already a month old???  I sure can't!  Here is a picture of the big boy, and he was not happy to have his picture taken.

4 Weeks Old

We had a great weekend with Grandpa Rooney.  Max enjoyed his grandpa time!  Grandpa found a new use for the boppy pillow!
















On Sat we went for our 1st walk around the neighborhood. Max was asleep before we got to the end of the street. 

This what I found in the living room Sat morning.  Brian took Max at the 5 am feeding so that I could sleep. Thanks Dad!

I can't believe Max has been here 4 weeks already!

Moby Wrap


I got the Moby Wrap this week so Max and I tried it out tonight.  He fell right to sleep in there.  It seems like it will be a great way to keep him near and still be able to do things around the house and out in public. 
Grandpa Rooney got here this afternoon for the weekend.  He made us a great dinner tonight and tomorrow is grilling steaks!  I am excited to be able to have beef that is not well done!

baby love | baby photography atlanta


Here is the blog site for the photographer that we used to take Max's newborn pictures.  These are just a sneak peek of the shots that she took.  I have to admit he is just too cute for words!!  I think Crystal will be using just pictures of Max for her whole portfolio. If you need a photographer in the Smyrna area you want to use CC James Photography for sure!!


And to quote Brian when we looked at them for the 1st time, "Damn, we look good!" I laughed out loud when he said that!

3 Weeks



We had a big Sat, Max was 3 weeks old and we had several great friends stop by to meet him.  Karen, Chuck and Kirsten came by in the morning and Kathy and Lane came by after lunch.  We even went outside for about 20 mins, the weather was so nice and we got to visit with Rich, Heather, Scott and even Stephanie.

Big Week!


We have had a great week. On Wed we went to get newborn pictures taken of Max. We had a wonderful time and Max was even naked for about 30 mins and he did not wet on anything!! The photographer was very impressed that even though Max is over 2 weeks old he still co-operated so well and stayed in all the poses she wanted.
Last night we had our 1st bath.  It went much better than I expected.  He did not scream or anything!
Today we both went for checkups. My incision is healing well and my blood pressure was back to normal. Max had a great checkup. He has gained weight and is up to 7 pounds even!! Max goes back in 2 weeks to make sure he is continuing to gain.

Welcome to Max's blogsite!


I am going to try to be as cool as our friend Sara and make a blog site to keep everyone posted about Max's daily changes. I figure you would rather check here on your own time than get emails in the middle of the night :)
Here is a naked baby shot to embarrass Max when he is older!
