6 Months

Six months, wow! Now that Max is well out of the newborn stage (not my favorite age group) it just gets better and better.

He outgrew his reflux around 4 months and we haven't looked back since.





Sleep has improved, with the good nights (just one waking!) outnumbering the bad. I am sure this will last only until he gets sick/starts teething/we travel/goes through a developmental spurt again.

I am slow to wean him from his last night feeding as I savor the nighttime snuggles.





When you catch his gaze, he readily lights up with a huge grin.

He is a sweet unflappable baby and we are fully enjoying the chubs and rolls!

Moving forward

I have been back at work for several weeks now, but due to some recent changes I am now unemployed for three whole days and it feels GREAT.

On Monday my maternity leave will really be over. It was no vacation, but I am incredibly grateful for such an extended and uninterrupted time helping Max get started on life and giving us space to adjust to the new rhythms of our family. 

 

As we move into this next stage, I will hold these past few months with them close to me. What a joy these two boys are to us! 

 

 

School pictures

Noah missed his fall school pictures because he was out sick, and we forgot to dress him up for his spring pictures, but these were taken pre-ER-knocked-teeth-out and so are extra special to us now...
