humble pie

I need to revoke my last post in a serious way. Max proceeded to wake up all hours of the night, nap horribly the next day, and then have a rough rough drive home. mercy. I've been busy transitioning him from his swing (he's been sleeping in there since he was born) into his crib, since he's actively working on squirming out of his swing any chance he can get. It's tough, because he HAD been sleeping through the night like a champion in the swing. And ever since the crib switcharoo, he's back to waking up to eat 3 times a night. what the heck! I know our pediatrician would be telling me he does NOT need to be eating during the night, but max wants what he wants. I don't know how long it's gonna take him to get back to the "giving mom a full night's sleep" thing, but it feels like it's taking forever.

the little guy is infatuated with the food that we eat. he stares at it, makes little chewing faces, and tries hard to grab for it. Ha, I think he's ready to eat! We've been trying to give him rice cereal without a lot of success. anything he does manage to get down all comes up at the end....so we just sneak it into his bottle before bed (trying in vain to get him to sleep harder!). Anyway, it's really cute to see him try to eat:

he's a rolling fiend now. he's realizing that he is starting to be mobile, and you can tell he enjoys it :) Also, Jon & I both swear that he says momma when he's sad. I know it's crazy, being that he's only four and a half months old, but plain as day...thats what he says! I'm sure he has no idea what he's saying, but it's super cute!

pretty sure teeth are on their way, his gnawing on toys and our fingers has some BITE to it. and yeah...I could go on forever :)

christmas this weekend!
