3 Months and Counting...

So much has happened in the last couple of months, so here's a smattering of what Maxwell has been up to. He's such an incredible baby and I love being his mom. More photos to come.

5/30/2010 (~3m)- started using his hands

6/9/2010- First haircut (just like daddy's)

6/20/2010 (~4m)- Rolling over(front to back)

6/20/2010- Just so happens to be Father's Day as well. Happy Father's day daddy!

Max's 1 Month Photo Shoot

These photos are a long time coming, but to my credit, we didn't get the CD with the images until maybe 3-4 weeks ago. We did a photo shoot on Max's one month birthday. Of course he is much bigger now that he is just over 4 months old, well, not that much bigger. In fact he is in the 0.44% for his weight. This just means that he wants to stay cute and tiny for a while longer so I can relish all the little baby moments before he grows up to be a big boy. Max was supposed to be asleep for pretty much the entire photo shoot but he decided that wasn't going to happen. So all of his sleeping naked baby pictures are eyes wide open, naked baby pictures. Only after an hour of shooting and mild frustration on my part did he finally fall asleep and let us get some sleeping baby pictures.

Sleep is overrated...or is it?

This week my sweet baby boy started sleeping through the night. We put him down at 8:30pm on Monday night and he slept until 4:30am the next day. I was so excited. Then the next night he slept from 9:00pm to 5:00am. What a glorious thing, this thing called sleep (uninterrupted). Hopefully this trend continues.

Oh, and by the way, Maxwell also has superhuman strength. Check him out! His grandpa Jackson says that he looks like a wrestler. This was his first tummy time experience.

More baby...

Snapped this pic on my cell phone the other day. What a blessing our Maxwell is. Isn't he the most handsome baby boy ever?

He's here!!!

Announcing Maxwell Ford. Born 8lbs 1 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. We're so excited to have him here. More to come...

38 weeks and counting...

Well, I'm pretty much the best blogger I know, considering that I update every other day to let people know the progress of the pregnancy. Not to mention, I am always taking pictures to show everyone what we're up to.
Anyway, we finally took a picture on Sunday to document the 38 week mark. Rosie decided to join me in the picture (she didn't smile for this one). We are very excited and can't wait for little Maxwell (yes, it's a boy) to come.
