The title of our last post ("4 Months") was very misleading. Max is already 5 months old as of a few days ago.. how did that happen?! Justin and I love to reminisce about Max's first 6 weeks when we were both home with him. Every evening he would snuggle on one of us and sleep while we watched Friday Night Lights. We watched so many episodes and would point out to each other over and over again how cute Max looked all curled up on us asleep. The Friday Night Lights theme song still tugs at my heart cause it makes me think of those wonderful nights!
And now he is 5 months old and acting like such a big boy : ) Thank goodness we can still catch a snuggle once in awhile, but at this point Max is more interested in figuring out life around him.
Eating is an all time favorite activity. Oatmeal, avocado, zucchini, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes... he loves everything that we put in his mouth. When he sees his baby spoon coming his mouth is wide open and closes just enough to swallow the food before opening it wide again for the next bite. At dinner time, max's mealtime usually ends in tears because the food is all gone!
Here is Max "helping" Justin feed him avocado
He has also graduated out of his baby tub.. he is just too big! When his feet started
to stick out the end, we put him in the big tub and he thought it was all very exciting.
Max's other big news is that he loves to sit up (not to be confused with "spit up" which he also loves to do)! There is a lot of tipping over involved but he never takes his eye off the toy that he is going for and despite a few bonks on the head by his big plastic Bee, he constantly wants to be sitting up.
Max also loves to read/chew/spit up on books
But I'm sure that deep down in his heart, this is his
absolute favorite activity- snuggling with Mommy or Daddy ; )
he just loves his auntie sarah book! He's chewing it in every picture I see of him reading :)
