Max Grows: Two Months

We’ve got ourselves a two month old! It’s unbelievable how much Max has grown and developed this month! He’s much less of a “blob” and more “baby” with every passing day. It’s so fun watching him develop and grow, and it’s been wonderful to get to introduce him to all the wonderful people in our lives. This was an eventful month for our little family, and our big guy!

Week 6

  • He got to go on his first road trip to Indiana.
  • He got to meet his Collis Great Grandparents.
  • He got to have hotdogs and rootbeer with his Uncle Aaron and Aunt Shelby.
  • He got to eat at Lincoln Square with his Uncle Brandon and his Great Aunt Sunny.
  • He played with his godbrother and godsister.
  • He started fitting into size 0-3 months clothing.
  • He peed in his own eyes.

Week 7

  • He went to his first parade.
  • He went to his first wedding.
  • He started being able to hold his head up REALLY well.
  • He started grabbing on to things…like hair and beards…and pulling it…(ouch!)
  • He got to meet his Great Grandma and Grandpa Nardo.
  • He started producing real tears when he cried.
  • He graduated from Newborn sized diapers to Size 1 diapers.
  • He quit pooping 17 times a day and started pooping only a couple times a day.


Week 8

  • He had his first public diaper blowout at TJ Maxx. (Read about it here)
  • He went to his second wedding.
  • He slept 5 hours straight for the first time in the middle of the night.
  • He went to Camp Tippecanoe for the first time and got to meet Memaw Rebecca.
  • He rode in his Ergo 360 carrier and loved it!
  • He went “swimming” for the first time (and wasn’t a huge fan).

 

Week 9

  • He slept 11 hours (with one wake-up in between).
  • He celebrated Daddy’s first Father’s Day!
  • He smiled intentionally for the first time at his Daddy when he was playing with his lips (on Father’s Day!)
  • He started making cooing sounds when Mimi came to visit.
  • He got his first round of shots.
  • He went to Ikea for the first time and LOVED looking at everything.
  • He decided he’d rather not breastfeed as often, and started preferring bottles.

And now we have ourselves a two month old! He weighs 11 lbs. 11 oz. and is 21 1/2″ long.

He Loves

  • Car rides
  • Walks in his carrier
  • Snuggling with Momma in the bed in the mornings
  • Standing up on his feet
  • Looking at the oval picture frame on the wall
  • Bath time
  • Peek-a-boo

He Hates:
