Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

My mom asked me the other night what was new with Max and I honestly couldn't think of anything. It reminded me that we see Max all day, every day and often don't notice the subtle changes in his physical appearance or demeanour. We usually have to look at pictures to remind ourselves of how the little guy has changed. However, after a bit of reflection, two things did come to me.

One, the time change at the start of November threw his sleep schedule off so for a few days, he slept soundly through the early evenings. So whereas before, we would feed him during dinner and then play pass the baby for a few hours before putting him to bed, we ran into a few situations where we half-fed him during dinner and then he'd fall asleep. For three hours. This may have affected his quality of sleep in the late hours (read: after 5 a.m.) but Holly would know much more about that :)

Two, it's just fantastic that the little guy has learned to smile. Despite the fact that most of the time it's a warning sign for something else, it's mesmerizing and brightens our day. However, just recently, Max's tear ducts have also discovered how to flow. So now he smiles and he cries. The latter is pretty tough to take. Before, when he was upset, we could just go about our business, trying to soothe him. But it's funny how a few drops of salty water add so much of a sense of urgency. Now, we have to fix things RIGHT AWAY because those tears are killers. We wanted to show you a picture of him crying, but had to cover up his eyes in order to protect all of you from losing it yourselves.



So there you go.

Two new things about Max.
