Week 2 - so far!

Happy Wednesday all! So we're 9 days in, and all is going very well. We had a very busy weekend with lots of visitors and Max was so happy to meet his Granne, Nana Pearl, and Cousin (Uncle) Josh. Now its back to just Oma and Aunt Emmy for right now, and Jiggs is coming for the weekend.

Max is sleeping really well. We're trying to work on a schedule right now, and it's going fairly well. He's not eating as well as I'd like him to, but we're pretty sure he's gaining weight, and he's definitely using the bathroom PLENTY of times per day...I think we have gone through about 150 diapers since Max came home. Some days he decides it's fun to sleep pretty much all day, and some days he's pretty alert. Nighttime has been better than we could have hoped. According to the doctor he has to eat at least every 4 hours overnight, so we have been feeding him around 10pm, putting him down to sleep, and waking him up at 2am and 6am for another feeding. We're trying to get to where he will go right back to sleep after the 10pm and 2am feedings, but it's sort of hit or miss right now. He really doesn't fuss at all, just lays there and stares for a while before he's able to go to sleep. I'm getting to sleep between 2-3 hours at a time, twice per night. Since my mom and Emily are still here, I've been able to take pretty good naps at least once a day, but I may have to get used to not getting those naps when it's just me and Max during the day.

I've uploaded more pics to the shutterfly album, but I've included a few here as well. Enjoy! :)

Max in his cool hoodie. Daddy calls this his gangsta look. :)

With Aunt Emmy sucking his thumb...he hasn't figured out yet how to suck it while making a fist, but he's definitely found the thumb!

Holding on tight to his favorite toy. This is one all the way from Germany and his Aunt Nicola. We go back and forth whether it's a reindeer, dog, or kangaroo...either way, he loves it!
