Weeks 2 and 3

Baby Max is now 17 days old and we are only falling more and more in love with our little man! He is growing at, in my opinion, an incredibly inappropriate pace… but since he’s just getting cuter every day we have decided to allow it. Here are some more pictures of our little heartbreaker!


And here is just a little about our Max:

He is a fatty. No joke. You see, babies are supposed to reach their birth weight by at least two weeks. Our “little” Max regained his lost 3 ounces at the ripe old age of 1 week 2 days. At 2 weeks 1 day Max weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces!!! He gained half a pound in 6 days! Absolutely incredible. That’s all I have to say.

Max was circumcised on Tuesday the 13th. Poor little man. Luckily he slept through 90% of it. Which was great…but even better we found him the most incredible pediatrician. Seriously he is awesome!

His little umbilical cord finally fell off on the 9th leaving him with the cutest little belly button I have ever seen.

Hands down, the cutest thing Max has ever done is fake sneeze. When he sneezes and thinks another one is coming and it doesn’t, he makes this little noise that resembles a sneeze. Depending on how severe his sneezes were affects the number and intensity of his fake sneezing. I desperately want to video tape it because it is honestly the cutest thing ever, but how can I? It’s impossible to predict his sneezes. Any suggestions?

We had his newborn pictures taken on Monday, which resulted in very few pictures because it turns out the Max is a baby hulk. Before the session even started he demanded that he be fed, proceeded to leak through his diaper all over his dad, and spewed the before mentioned bottle all over the floor. Of course then he was wide awake and refused to stay in any pose he was put in, but fortunately for us he is so adorable we somehow managed to get a few extremely cute pictures. I’ll be posting the precious few asap.

When we first brought Max home we were really impressed with how good he slept at night, which as you know didn’t last very long. Well apparently turning 2 weeks old had quite an effect on him and he felt that he needed to step up. Since then he has been sleeping between 4 and 6 hours between feedings. AMAZING!!!

Anyway, as I’m sure you all know by now, we have the world’s most incredible baby and you are no doubt all jealous. As you should be. :)
