I can't believe we are parents!

Today was Justins first Fathers Day.. so much fun! I remember telling him at the Avenue in White Marsh on June 20th of last year that I was pregnant. We were going to dinner at Red Brick Station on the day before our 3rd anniversary because that was where we had our rehearsal dinner years before. We sat in the courtyard and I gave him an early anniversary present- it was a bib that said "I love daddy". He opened it and looked a little confused and I said "im pregnant" and started laughing. He was shocked and we both laughed and were so happy. We spent most of dinner that night talking about how unbelievable it was that we were going to have a baby. And now Max is here and he is more amazing then we ever dreamed and Justin got to celebrate his first fathers day ever : )

I love the happiness on Max's face! He loves when Justin is silly with him : )

My handsome boys at church this morning.

If you know Justin at all, then you know that his son will of course own a bowtie!

Having fun with Daddy!

Mothers Day Part 2

Sunday (Mothers Day) was the best day ever! Justin got up with Max in the morning and I slept in until 7. It was glorious ; ) I took Max for a walk and he gave me a wonderful mothers day gift- a 4 hour nap! He slept in his stroller on the front porch.. he loves sleeping outside in the fresh air. I got to take a nice relaxing shower and chat with Justin while he made lunch.

Play time in the morning with max while Justin

cleaned the kitchen and made lunch.. what a great hubby!

Max was on his best behavior for the Mothers Day.. took a long nap for Mommy!

More Weekly Pics!

We're baaaack!!

Oopsies its been way too long since we shared pics of maxwell! Our last post was when Max was 10 weeks old..eek. A lot has happened since then. Max is now 16 weeks old and becoming a little man : ) Basically we love our life. Max is snuggling on my lap as I write this. Sometimes we still look at him and say- I can't believe he is ours. He couldn't be more fun and amazing. The pediatrician said that Max is spoiling us and we shouldn't think other babies are this easy! We'll see how long this lasts : )

Here are some random updates:

*Max is still sleeping like a champ, 10-11 hrs each night. When he is awake he is so fun and showing off his personality.

*He loves to smile, laugh, eat his hands, drool, spit up, smile, drool, spit up, smile, eat his hands... you get the idea. He loves to smile and laugh at his mommy and daddy which we couldn't love more!
*Naps during the day are sometimes a challenge but I cant complain.. I'll take sleeping through the night over long naps during the day.

*We switched over to cloth diapers last month and looove them. They are as great as we thought they would be. yaay. And sometimes (most of the time) I might color coordinate his diaper to his outfit. Dont judge.

*Max went to church for the first time this past Sunday and he was so good!

* We have his 4 month dr appt next week. A couple of weeks ago he weighed 16.5 lbs so i'm sure he'll be way more that than by our appt!

Here are some pics of Max from the past couple of weeks. More posts coming tonight with his weekly pics and Mothers Day!
