Maybe it's because I had such tunnel vision with Lucy - focusing 100% on her - it didn't seem to go quite so fast...and now that I have two kids and with everything else in my life, I can't obsess over Max as much as I obsessed over baby Lucygirl...
Whatever the reason, I am freaking out a little. Max already seems so grown! Of course he's still a baby (and he'll always be my baby...just like Lucy will!), but rolling over already!? Holding his head up and looking around so much?! It's insane!
He's so sweet...such a content baby most of the time - except for when he's hungry. Babysitter Tammy remarked that the only time he gets upset is when he's hungry. She's probably so impressed remembering how high-maintenance Lucy was!
He does love being held but is also happy on his lounger or under his gym. He loves watching Lucy and tries to keep an eye on her but she's usually jumping and bouncing and running around so much that he starts to get whip-lash!
He actually likes tummy time! Lucy got to the point where she'd tolerate it but he actually seems to enjoy himself. He also likes watching / listening to his mobile in his bed...Lucy never cared about the mobile.
(I can't help but compare my two cuties).
He likes being bundled (swaddled) and we bundle him at night or when he's so sleepy that he can't seem to fall asleep but he also often sleeps without being swaddled and that was not the case with Lucygirl...we swaddled the heck out of that baby girl! However, he does rely on the white noise of his sleep sheep, much like Lucy relied on the white noise of her giraffe, Buddy Man.
Do you see what I mean?! He's already a MAN! |
I keep telling Dave, "I need a new baby! This one is growing up so fast!" He thinks I'm crazy. Another baby was the LAST thing I was thinking about when Lucy was his age...
And we're still figuring out our new family dynamic - making sure Lucy's getting enough time and attention, making sure we're taking as many pictures of baby Max as we did of baby Lucy, taking time for ourselves, working on our house, Dani & Dave time, etc.
He's already grasping toys and actually playing! Dave took a cute video of him batting at the toys on his gym and cooing up a storm. He's "talking" so much lately...he and Dave have daily chats that I am sure Daddy will miss greatly when he starts school next week.
But as Dave repeatedly brings up, we do make some pretty special - and good looking! - kids!
