Max is 8 months old...how did that happen?

Wow, my little baby Max is already 8mos old! Time has flown by with him, like many probably experience with their second child. He's a really sweet boy. I was just looking at him today as I was feeding him some sweet potatoes and thinking of what kind of person he's going to be. He seems like he'll be a funny guy...and a snuggly one! I think it's a product of number two...I snuggled and held him more than I did with Fox, seems like with Max it was more laid back. With Fox I think I was just trying to keep him alive! ha

Max and Fox both got whatever respiratory bug that was floating around here about a wk after we got here and since then he's been pretty whiny. He has his two front bottom teeth and seems like he's getting a few more...hopefully why he's so cranky! Instead of a cry when he is fussy he kind of growls... :) sounds funny, but that's the best description I can think of! I'll have to get a video of it.

Max is pretty trim compared to Fox...the brut! He nurses four times a day and just started liking solid foods and has a jar at lunch time and dinner time. He takes two naps and sleeps wonderfully at night! He sits up great and rolls around but isn't crawling or moving much more than that. He really likes his brothers toys and things that aren't really toys at all!

My parents (Grammy and Farmer Papa) came to see us during their vacation, which happened to be the second wk we were here. Fox was super excited to spend time with them and have them stay at his "Texas house." It was great to have them come down! The weather was really nice and they drove down to Galveston for a few days. Think they enjoyed their time..and especially getting to see the boys!

Excuses...but no real good ones!

So I haven't updated the blog in...forever! Since October it's been a bit busy. Between learning how to do life with two boys, one of them being in the Very curious, implusive 2 1/2 yr old mode and Mike being very busy at work I didn't have much extra time to sit and think of something to write. Hopefully now after we've moved...yes we moved since my last post, I'll start blogging again! Stay tuned!
