Max is 3 months old!

Max turned 3 months old on November 19th.  I can't believe Max is 3 months old already!

Here are some of Maxwell's likes and dislikes.

Likes:

• Eating
• "Running and Jumping" - a great thing Michelle Kenyon taught us that helps when Max is gassy.  Imagine pumping Max's legs like he is running and then when he "jumps", you put his feet together and push them up towards his belly button
• Smiling at faces
• Looking at ceiling fans
• Resting  his head on your face - he really likes going cheek to cheek
• Getting his diaper changed on his changing table and getting his diaper changed in general 
• Stretching after he wakes up, as soon as we let him loose from being swaddled
• His vitamin D drops
• First half of his baths
• Sleeping with mom in the morning
• Having something touching his face when he goes to sleep - your face, your arm, your hand, a pillow (only when supervised by mom and dad and then immediately removed after he goes to sleep)

• Dad putting him to sleep
• Holding onto a blanket
• White noise while sleeping
• Classical music
• Eating his hands



Here's Max chewing on his hands.  Notice he is wearing what we call his "naughty" pajamas.  He gets to wear these if he has had a tough day and been "naughty".

• Hanging with dad (he smiles and talks like crazy with dad)
• Standing up
• Looking at the TV, Computer, or Cell phone screen

Things he doesn't like:

• Hats covering his eyes
• Clothes coming off over his head
• Tummy time
• Being cradled in your arms when he goes to sleep
• The car
• The process of being swaddled
• The end of baths (hair washing and getting out) 

Some of the things he does

• Rolls over every once in a while from front to back when he is on tummy time
• Grabs onto your clothes
• Sometimes he will actually sit calmly on your lap
• He sounds like he is talking when he cries, I call it his conversational cry
• Drools a lot!
• He still has a great pouty lip that he will bring out when he is really sad.  The boy knows how to work it!
• He is fantastic at holding his head and pushing up on tummy time.  This boy is strong!
• He is moving his arms and legs on purpose now
