Max, you are one month old.
You are just starting to smile on your own instead of only when you're sleeping! You really like laying on your play mat and looking at your reflection in the mirror and "accidentally" hitting the toys hanging from it. You're not so sure about tummy time yet. You get a little fussy about it after a few minutes! But you can lift your head and look around. I think you'd just rather lay on your back instead of putting the effort into lifting your head. You are looking at your dad and me while we talk to you, studying how its done, so that soon you can talk back to us! We love how every day you're more alert and watchful, just taking in the world. It has been a crazy, wonderful one month so far! We love you so!

Max has continued to be very popular! Two weekends ago his Grandma and Grandpa Hopper, Aunt Tiffany, Uncle Garry, and cousins Julia and Owen came for a visit! He got lots of attention from his cousins who couldn't wait to hold him and help calm him if he was crying. Julia even helped Brett change his diapers!

Then we had a little set back. Max developed a fever and we wound up at Children's for 3 nights. All the tests came back negative and it is assumed he had a virus. He is doing fine now though! He got to come home and meet his Aunt Megan visiting from Texas!

It has been fun for Max to get to meet his family! So glad the weather is warming up so we can get out of the house more! 

Busy Last Week

 Kicken it with some tummy time.  Check out my Jane Fonda leg warmers!

 This is mom trying to be artsy with the camera!  That is my Great Grandpa Hagen's hand on the bottom than dad's, than mine.  Very cute.

My second cousin Lindsay stopped by to say hello and see me before her big hockey game!


So I have had a busy last week of April and even more eventful first week of May which I will talk about in another post when the pictures are ready.  Many of my parents friends and some new family stopped by to hold me and say hello.  I even got to meet my cousins for the first time and my Hopper grandparents.
