Max,

Today you are 5 wks old, and this makes me sorta sad.  Where is the time going?  I want to tell you about the last 5 weeks, and what they have meant to all of us.

You have had a series of firsts:

• First Parade, Heritage Days
• First Pool Dip (we only dipped your toes)
• First Funeral RIP Mike
• First Crazy blowout day (church last Sunday)
• First soccer game, Jack’s
• First Smile, at Daddy, at 4 weeks
• First non-routine Doc appt,  Reflux at 4 wks.  You were 11 lbs
• First time peeing on someone, at 2 wk check, on your doc.
• First pooping on someone, Daddy, 1st day home.

There are more but I can’t find the paper and you are on me right now sleeping so nicely, so I will add them in time.

You like to be warm Mr. Max.  VERY WARM.  Which is lovely and also a challenge, because I hate being hot, yet we are together so much, we give in to your needs and I just deal with the sweat with a smile on my face.

You LOVE the Ergo.  Thanks to Stephanie, for her post about how wonderful it is.  WORTH EVERY PENNY.  Thanks to Hubby for the awesome, daily used, x-mas gift. Wish I’d had an ergo before.

You sleep pretty good for an infant.

You like baths, but only if the water is borderline too warm.

You will be baptised this weekend

Your Big Brothers ADORE you.  I mean, They fight to hold you, be the first to help you, and can’t bear to hear you cry.

They like to hold you like this…. the most.

Your Daddy can score a burp outa you anytime, and your Momma stinks at it.

You have only puked on your dad once so far, but Mommy has the pleasure of it, about 11 times now.

You hate your reflux medicine, even though I’ve had it flavored.. you still hate it.

You load your pants so loudly that it makes me giggle, and dread what I’m going to find

Your nickname is Sir Grunts A lot.  People will often remark how noisy you are.

You sleep through anything, Brothers screaming, Momma screaming, Dogs barking. A.n.y.t.h.i.n.g.

You are the piece we were missing, and we simple adore you.
