Max is Four Months Old!

Well, he will be this Tuesday. Max is now laughing and has decided that he can be really loud when he speaks. He actually does this shriek thing when he's excited (kind of like a cat or bird - I don't know if that makes sense to you, but it's the best way that I can describe it). We're thrilled to see more of his personality coming out! He continues to chomp on his fingers which my mother and sister informed me is the beginning of teething. His 4 month doctor appointment is tomorrow, and I'll update this with how much he weighs and how long he is.

Alright, we just got back from Max's doctor appointment. He showed the doctor what strong lungs he has with all his crying - yikes! He weighs 15 lbs. 3 oz. (75th percentile) and is 26 in. long (90th percentile - there are those Dutch genes).


Here's Max laughing. Unfortunately (in my opinion), Matt discovered one day that Max will usually laugh when he asks the question, "Did you poop in your pants?" Don't ask. Just thought I should give you a head's up.

We thought the below clip was pretty funny. We put him on the floor and he started doing this for about 15 minutes or so and wouldn't stop. The same thing happened again today. These are definitely some of the noises that Max is into lately.

California Trip

Here are some pictures from our recent trip to California. My brother John and my new sister-in-law Natalie got married on August 23. This was the big event we went out for, but we also got to see lots of family and friends. The wedding was gorgeous and we really enjoyed seeing John and Natalie get married! Max acutally did pretty good flying. There are two slideshows here. The first one has pictures from the wedding and the second is from the rest of the vacation. Enjoy!
