11 Weeks Old



It was a long week this week, indeed. It was the first full week of daycare for Max. It really is hard work...go to work all day, come home and cook dinner, play with Max, clean up, feed Max, bathe Max, put Max to bed, wake up with Max during the night, get up the next morning and do it all over again. I think we are starting find our groove in the morning...as long as Mommy can get out of bed. If I can get out of bed and in the shower before he wakes up, we’re good to go. He is really good about just lying in his crib when he wakes up...this let’s me put on my make-up and get dressed. Then we go downstairs and have some breakfast and I pack up my lunch for the day and fix my hair. This last bit I almost forgot yesterday and just about walked out with a towel on my head.
Max is feeling so much better and we think the ear infection is gone. He has been tylenol free for a few days now and only has one more day on his antibiotic. Wednesday night he slept through the night until 5am. It was great! He woke up and was hungry but went right back to sleep after he ate. Last night he woke up at 4am and then went back to sleep until 8 this morning. We’re getting closer and closer to a full night. If only we could keep him up a little later and get him to eat right before he went to bed, but that’s a challenge that we will have to keep working on.
He seemed to have a good week at daycare and he seems happy when I pick him up. All of the ladies there are really nice and it’s getting a little easier to drop him off each day. I do love picking him up in the afternoon though and we get a little alone time in at home before Daddy gets home :)
We have a three day weekend this weekend, so it will be nice to have an extra day with Max. Next weekend is my first show since being back to work so we’ll see how that goes. It’s on Saturday, so I will be away from him all day and night. Maybe Daddy will bring him up to visit me at some point during the day.
I didn’t take too many pictures this week...I was really tired in the evenings, but I will be better about it in the weeks to come. He is growing up so fast! My co-worker brought her little girl up to the office yesterday. She is about 6 weeks younger than Max and so tiny. She was making little squeaky noises and I realized that Max doesn’t do that...he is full on coo-ing and yelling at us. He is just growing up too fast, but he’s my little man and there are no words to say how much I love him.
I’m too tired to write captions and do the formatting, so enjoy the few pics and until next week...
