Max's 2 month appt

I don't my camera handy to upload any pics, but i thought i would give Max's update. Yesterday Max had his 2 month appointment. It is about 2 weeks past his actual 2 month birthday, but since he went so often at the beginning his 1 month was pushed back, thus 2 month was too. So we will probably always be about 2 weeks behind the actual month. Anyways Max was just perfect at the doc office. All the nurses loved him and his chubby cheeks and faux hawk. He weighed in at 12 lb 9 oz (50%), measured 24 1/4 in (90%), and head was also in the 50th percentile. Just for comparison, McClain was 12lb 11.5oz (50%) and 24 in (75%) at his 2 monther. Dr Mayberry said Max looked very strong and healthy, BUT he needs physical therapy!! Well, not really NEED it, but thinks it would help. Max's head tends to lean to his left when relaxed. The dr said that his neck muscles were tight and needed to be stretched to prevent his head becoming misshapen. If his muscles are weak or tight and he continues to lay on one side he could flatten out one side and/or push his skull forward on that side and then have to wear a corrective helmet. She stressed that it was nowhere near this extreme, but we needed to work with him and would suggest some therapy centers that could give exercises and techniques Michael and I could do at home with him. So, my lil Maxer is scheduled for his first physical therapy session next Thursday! Poor lil guy :( He also got his 1 shot that I allow and will get 1 more next time we visit. He screamed his lil head off when he got shot, but was quickly soothed by the bottle I had waiting on him ;) Overall, he is still perfect.

Pics will come soon! sorry!

Mc and Max

Max...isn't he cute?!

Mc and Daddy on the slide



Mc calls it "WEEEEE" and will go down most any slide all by himself, but really prefers to climb up them.



Isn't this just the sweetest Daddy/Son pic ever? They are off to the bball court and swings.



I love this smile!

Cruisin on his Kawasaki

And this is what Bubby Max did the entire time we were at both parks and walking

McClain likes to "hold it" so we make him sit in the chair and rest Max on his lap or nearby pillow

Unfortunately, it usually ends like this. McClain likes to put the paci in and out of Bubby's mouth. Max doesn't quite understand.

So I had to leave my baby boys to cheer on our Sooners in Arlington for the first game vs BYU. Sadly, it didn't go so well, but we had a good time and got to hangout with all our friends.

The Wards brought this cutie, Channing, out to the tailgate for a while. She and McClain are only 2 days apart. I realized that boys and girls are so different after watching Channing play. She was so quiet and listened. She played on a little blanket laid out on the ground. McClain would have been down the road, in the tailgate 3 tents down, eating their food and talking it up to whoever would listen. He is such a busy body! I'm sure they would have played good together and McClain probably could have encouraged a little rough housing! I think we will wait until we have a gated tailgate or a very strong leash before McClain gets to come to a tailgate, although I bet Grammy has a different plan!

ps notice Michael rockin the wife beater in the background. Classy!

It was SOOO hot outside. The ice cream man made a killing off of the grown tailgaters. Amy and Melissa were so proud of their Bugs and Pink Panther pops

Like I said, it was way hot! Melissa and I have been bffs since 5th grade. We can go months without hanging out, but as soon as we do its like we still live next door to each other and have a blast every time. (During the tailgating I proved I knew her better than anyone else, even her hubby, by scoring the highest anyone had scored on her "How well do you know Meilssa" quiz).

Look at how ridiculous that Jumbo is! I had to force myself to watch the game on the field and not on the 60 yard screen. And for some reason I don't have anymore pictures from the game or this weekend....hmmmm

This next series proves how goofy my McClain is. He loves to entertain and laugh. I can't help but to smile every time I look at him. Here he is showing us all his faces...

not even sure what face this is

kind of his goofy and scarwee face mixed

this is part of his serious face, but it looks like a "duh" face

this is just his natural happy face....my favorite

sad face

who knows

thinking of a another face face


serious face again, he is really good at this one


crazy face


I think this is in between making fart noises. Speaking of, when he does this or hears anything that sounds like it, he immediately says "What I do?" haha. Goofy, goofy kid.

haha!

and unfortunately this is a screaming face. notice the food all over his mouth, this is also normal! haha!

Michael was the photographer in all of the above pictures. He was so proud that he caught so many different faces. However, he then tried to do a Max photo shoot. It ended shortly after it started because, "this one only does one face" and the camera was put down. HA! This was true, but since, Max has really started oohing and cooing a lot and those come with big grins. I mean huge grins where both dimples are showing and the eyes disappear. (kinda like his momma!) I have yet to catch this on camera, but I will work on it this week. So here is Daddy's photo shoot of Max:


notice the cute costume...its from Cade



Max has had enough.


So as you can see, our boys are healthy, happy, and oh so cute. I enjoy every minute with them, but they are a hand full. Oh, and did I mention that Max is still sleeping through the night and eats on a perfect 3 hours schedule throughout the day? Don't we just make the most perfect babies ever??!!
