3 Months

Maxim is now three months old (or 25 days old developmentally) and I am wondering where the time has gone. If I had to guess I would say Max is just over 10 pounds.





Maxim, you have survived a full month at home with your mommy and daddy. It has been a wonderful month with you. You are a pretty laid back baby who gets fussy when you are gassy and when your diaper is being changed. Other than that you are either sleeping or sitting back looking at everything around you. When you do get overly fussy I will take you outside and you instantly calm down. There is something with being outside that you really like. I don't know if it's the fresh air or that there is more to look at, but you do love the outdoors. 


Football season started this month and it's your daddy's favorite time of year. He has you already a fan of the Badgers and Packers. He also looks forward to the day you two can really enjoy watching football together.




The dogs just love you. Wherever you are Izzy is close behind. She likes to follow you and be right there beside you. Madison will check on you when you fuss or cry but she gives you your space. You don't seem to be phased at all by the dogs and the cat.



This month you started seeing us and following us with your eyes and I found that very exciting. You are not interested in rattles or toys yet, but I am sure that will come soon.  You are still a very smiley baby and I cannot get enough of this. I don't have many photos of you smiling as I am usually just enjoying the moment and I forget to take a picture, but I did manage to get this cute photo this morning. 



You took your first flight to Wisconsin with me while your dad drove across country with the dogs. For your first flight you flew first class (nothing but the best for my baby boy) and you were an excellent flying companion. As nervous as I was, I must say everything went smoothly and I enjoyed spending the day traveling with you. Plus it was fun to get a ton of comments from random strangers on how cute you are. You spent your days in Wisconsin meeting your family. It's been a lot of go-go-go so far, but you have been a trooper.



This month I got you out and about more. We did a couple shopping trips together and I took you to your first restaurant with your auntie KB while she was in town visiting. You did great with both adventures. Right now it's easy to take you places because you still sleep all the time.



You are a boy that just loves to snuggle and I cannot get enough of this. You just love to curl up on my chest and sleep for hours. While you are sleeping I just stare at you in awe of your sweetness and innocence. You also love daddy's chest too.


You are getting very strong as you are starting to hold your head up. You seem determined to hold your head up on your own as you look around. You definitely do this while I am burping you. I still have to provide assistance because after a short period of time you will turn into a bobble head.


Time is going by very fast and you are getting so big. I am enjoying watching you grow and learn new things. I love every minute I get to spend with you and sometimes I just can't believe we created you. You are so sweet and so special to us!

Love, your mommy
