Another first, BUT . . .

it isn't such a good first this time! So, we watched the Hogs play on PPV at home with family and friends. Well, while mom was out grilling burgers, Max had an accident and received his first BLACK EYE!!!! Apparently, Lauren was holding him and he decided he wanted a drink from Megan's glass and hit his eye while diving into the drink. TERRIBLE!! Poor baby!! He's fine and hardly even cried - in fact, right after it happen they brought him to me outside and he had already stopped crying. I put some frozen peas on his eye (he was so interested in sucking on them, I had to get another bag - one for his eye and one for his enjoyment!) It already looked better this morning. Below are some pictures of our first boo, boo!!

Resting up before the Game (and the Boo, Boo)
All the Boys - Max, Kelly and Rocky!

Max with the Perpetrators of the Crime and the glass!

Max's Eye that night

Isn't this so sad? (The next day)

Don't worry, Max is so tough! (Kinda Like Chuck Norris) He thinks it's funny!!
Harper Came to Check on Max and Play Just a Little!

An update - so we went to the dr. on Friday and we're right on target!! So, he weighs 20 lbs. 2 oz. and measures 29.25 inches. He did so great with the shots. He had to get three Friday, but didn't cry until the third shot and stopped as soon as he was picked up. What a trooper!! He is still teething. You can see where the two bottom teeth are making their way up his gum line. Since he really starting teething, his sleep pattern has changed a bit. He sleeps from about 8:30 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. until about 4:00 a.m. (some days he will sleep longer, but I'm not complaining at ALL). He will eat, go back to sleep and sleep until about 8:00 a.m. or so. We're really eating twice a day now. He eats about 2 tablespoons of cereal and 1 tablespoon of vegetables (we've just started to add a little bit of fruit) at each meal. We've made our way through most of the vegetables. He LOVES peas and likes green beans, squash and carrots. He'll tolerate sweet potatoes. We've tried prunes and peaches. He liked them both. He's rolling over in spurts - some days he does it all day long and then sometimes he'll go a whole day without doing it at all. HE loves being read to and chewing on books. His feet are still one of his favorite toys. The mobile and baby Einstein mat are right up there as a favorite too as well as his bumbo and toys! Sugah bought him one of his FAVORITE toys that he plays with CONSTANTLY - he loves the links she bought him. But, he LOVES playing "Where's Max?" We are still practicing our sitting and he gets more interested in standing every day. I think he would love to crawl but really has no idea what it is. He will lay on his tummy and just kick his legs trying to go. It's quite entertaining. We're in 9 month and 12 month clothes. Everything gets better EVERY day!

BTW - Chris passed the bar on Friday!! YAY CHRIS!!!

Hope you all have a MAXnificent week!! Hugs!!
