Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Maybe Maxwell will be an astronaut one day…he’s already got the spaceship outfit!
If he’s going to be an astronaut, he’s got to be smart. Luckily he’s already proving how brainy he is. How many 2 month olds can stick their tongue out for the camera?
Sticking it out…
Way out…
Way, way out!
He’s clearly a genius. and he knows he’s funny too..
Maxwell turned 2 months old on Saturday! Our happy little guy is smiling all the time and has Robert and I wrapped around his little finger. He’s starting to interact with some of his toys and definitely responds to our voices and silly faces. He’s coo-ing and “talking” up a storm. Robert and I find ourselves just staring at him every day in awe of the fact that we made this adorable little boy. We sure do love him!
I had a really hard time narrowing down his 2 month photos…so I’m just going to include a bunch, some big and some small.
2 months old!
Can you see why I was surprised he’s only up to 11 lbs, 15 oz? Look at my little chubster!
Just hanging with my friend, Little Al.
Happy…
Happier…
Happiest!
Little baby, big chair…
“Ok, Mom. I’ll give you a few more smiles and then this has to stop…I’ve got things to do!”
“You’re clearly not listening to me. Looks like I’ll be here a while…might as well lean back and get comfy!”
“She’s still not stopping with that camera! Maybe if I hide behind Little Al she’ll think I’ve disappeared…”
“Let’s take a little peak and see if she’s still there…”
“Still there! I know what will get her to stop…the pouty lip!”
Ok, Maxwell. I’ll stop. But you can’t blame me for taking so many pictures when you’re just this cute…
Happy 2 months sweet boy! We love you!
To compare how much he’s grown in a month…check these out! 1 month photos
Maxwell had a pediatrician appointment Monday morning and everything looks great! He’s up to 11 lbs, 15 oz (he was 10 lbs one month ago) and is between the 50th and 75th % in weight. I really thought he was going to weigh a bit more because he seems so chunky to me! He grew an inch and a quarter and is now 23.5 inches long which is in the 75th to 95th % for height! Maybe we’ll have a tall guy after all! His head grew .5 cm to 15.5 cm total circumference. He had to get several shots which was NO fun but he actually handled them very well. A little crying but it was over quickly.
Post shots and doing fine…
Sad right leg…
and sad left leg.
The doctor is very pleased with his progress. He’s cooing, smiling and interacting right on schedule! We did decide to put Maxwell on Zantac last week for reflux. He seems to be doing much better now so, even though I was hesitant to put him on medicine, I’m very glad we decided to do it. Our little guy is moving along!
I’ve got a few more fun Halloween pictures to share as well.
Our neighborhood does a great Halloween parade every year. Unfortunately, Robert had to go out of town on Halloween but Maxwell and I hit up the parade anyway. While he didn’t wear his monkey suit, he was still appropriately attired in his I ♥ My Mummy tee! He was also being toted in in his new black and white sling and I thought we looked pretty festive with my orange shirt!
There are always tons of cute kids in costume at the parade and I had fun just taking pictures of the whole event.
The little basketball player was beyond cute and the goldfish cracked me up. His older brother was the fisherman!
Some more scenes from the parade – floats, costumes and quite a crowd!
Fun, fun!
Happy day after Halloween! Maxwell had a great first Halloween and got all dressed up as a cute little monkey…or maybe I should say a chunky monkey! I bought this costume a few weeks ago and he’s definitely grown quite a bit since then! I put it on him last week to see if it would fit. We got it on but the hood was a liiiitle tight! He was clearly very excited about this monkey business…
Luckily the costume still fit this past weekend for Halloween! Unfortunately, Maxwell seemed just as excited about it as he was the week before…
But, he perked up a bit when I picked him up…
and then Dad got to show off Maxwell’s cute little monkey tail…
Hope you all had a great Halloween with lots of treats and no tricks!
I thought I would start using Fridays to share some of my favorite baby things so far. Don’t worry, Maxwell pictures will be included!
Going off the tubby time post yesterday, this week’s Friday Favorite are the Mustela baby skin care products. I received a basket of all sorts of Mustela products at my baby shower and they are fantastic. I LOVE the way they smell and I know I will now forever associate that smell with Maxwell’s first year.
My favorites are:
The lotion – Maxwell gets this rubbed into this cute little self every night after his bath.
The No Rinse Cleansing Fluid – perfect for those times in between baths…or after a “blow out” diaper! 🙂
You can check out all of their products here: Mustela. They smell sooo good!
Here’s Mr. Maxwell all bathed, smelling good and ready for bed in his lemon lime fruit stripe pj’s!!
Nighty night!
Have a great weekend!
