19 Weeks Old

Max being silly after cleaning up a blow out!

So we are changing things up a bit and leaving our website behind. I am hoping that this blog will be better in terms of allowing people to leave comments for us each week. I'm still learning how to use the site and hopefully our posts will just get better and better each week.

This week has been pretty mellow. Not much happening at our house. We had a great weekend last weekend. On Saturday, we all went to Cedar Rapids to run some errands and had lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Ellingson at Zoey's in Marion. Then, we went by Aunt Susan's house and visited with her, Sophie and Ellie. The girls are getting so big! On Monday, Mommy was sick, but her fever broke around midnight and she was feeling much better. Just a stuffy, runny nose to contend with. We tried to give Max some rice cereal this week and after two nights of being up with him, not being able to calm him down, we realized that the cereal was giving him gas and making him constipated. We decided not to give him anymore and after talking to the doctor have decided to wait awhile longer before trying any more. Max had a great week at daycare too. They say every day that he is such a happy baby. He is playing more at home. He had a great time in his exersaucer this week. He is tall enough to stand up in it and reach all of the things around it. He spins around in his seat and plays with all of the toys. I put him in it and pulled him over to the kitchen and he was able to entertain himself while I cleaned and got dinner started. I can't believe how big he is getting. He is pretty close to being too big for his infant tub. I ordered him a little seat for the bathtub, so he can start taking baths in the big tub. Time is flying by and I'm amazed at how much he has changed already. He is starting to laugh a lot. If we blow raspberries on the front of his neck, he just giggles so loud...it is the best thing in the world.

We've had warmer temperatures this week and some rain. Mostly all of the snow is gone. I hope that we don't see any more and that it just keeps on getting warmer. 

I hope you all like the new layout and feel free to leave comments for Max!

He's such a big boy! This doesn't work every time, but we're practicing.

He loves his noodle bug teether that he got from Grandma Borden for Christmas

So many toys! I want them all in my mouth...NOW!

In his Tigger outfit that Aunt Susan, Sophie and Ellie got for him in DisneyWorld.

Having a good time in his exersaucer.

He fell asleep on the floor playing and watching TV

My happy boy!

I think you can tell what he thought of the rice cereal!
