Max just finished a BIG weekend. He ate his first solid food (rice cereal mixed in with the B-Juice), tipped the scales at 18lbs 6oz and was baptized at St. Elizabeth Seton. Family and friends were in attendance and we promise to get video up of these events soon… [nggallery id=14]
At three and 1/2 months, Max’s eyes are still pretty darn blue (in Dad’s opinion) It does depend on the light and a close look reveals blues, browns, greys and greens swirrled together. The genetic lottery still heavily favors brown, but we’ll still love him whichever color the are.
Max is getting used to daycare and has began to laugh, squawk, and squeal with the other kids. He’s happy to be dropped off and happy to be picked up!

Max’s longest attempt at tummy time looks a little like a drooly monster on the moon.

So… Max turned 12 weeks old yesterday and tipped the scale at 16 lbs this past weekend. At his Dr. check up a few weeks back, he was in the 90th percentile for weight and “off the chart” for length. (25.25″) He’s also set some sleep records going more than 7 hours a few nights ago. (unfortunately for mom, this isn’t every night yet)
He had his first couple of full days at daycare last week and will have 3 full days in a row beginning tomorrow. He is a very happy boy. Howling, squealing, blowing bubbles, and sputtering variations of his favorite word ‘guh’ are some of his favorite things to do. His hands are often together, feeling each other and anything else that come within range.
He’s a big boy, but he’s not quite as chubby as he looks in this picture:

Max had his first full day at daycare yesterday and did quite well. You’ll note from his first report that he was ‘content,’ which I can only assume is better than ‘fussy’ and not quite as good as ‘cheerful.’ Does this mean we have an average kid? Absolutely not. He’s top notch as you’ll see in some of the forthcoming videos…
