Ok so now that I know how to really use iMovie, I'm going a little crazy.
Here is my newest video...

Max is 5 months and dang it, I'm writing him a letter!
My precious sweet Maxers,
As I said before, I recognize I didn't write you a letter at 4 months, but man did we have a good time. It was your first Holiday season, and it's never been more special or magical now that we have you. You sat in your big boy high chair for the first time on Thanksgiving, tried rice cereal and some vegetables, spent the night at Gigi and Papa's on Christmas Eve, and attended your Great-Grandma Norma's Memorial service.
You still aren't sleeping through the night, much to my dismay. I just can't do the whole cry-it-out thing... but we have started a process of weaning you off nighttime feedings by slowly reducing the time I feed you. We're off the 11pm feeding: sometimes you wake up but we can easily gt you back to sleep with a soft pet of your head and a reinsertion of your paci :) We're still working on the 3/4am feed, but even after than you'll stay asleep until about 7:30/8am.
This month you had your first real infection that caused us to visit the Immediate Care center not once but twice. The fist visit was on the 19th and you were diagnosed with a right ear infection and upper respiratory infection. We reluctantly put your on an antibiotic for a few days and thankfully your ear cleared up. But on the night of Christmas, you started screaming like I've never heard you scream and were pulling on your right ear again. So we were back to the Immediate Care where they said your ears looked great (whew!) so you were probably working on a tooth. We have yet to see this elusive tooth that's supposedly been working its way out for the past month... you are still cute nonetheless :)
We spent some time with friends who have a little buddy of yours who is just about 8 weeks younger than you. Never before have I mourned your "littleness" than on our most recent visit. Eli is the size I picture you as being, but seeing you next to him made both your Daddy and I realize what a big boy you're becoming! And while I'm sure I'll look back at pictures of you when you were 5 months old and think you were just so small, it's just kind of sinking in that you will never ever be little again.
But I digress- every day is a new discovery for you, and new skill mastered or one starting to develop. Your smile in contagious and so easily appears, especially at your Daddy. You need only hear his voice and your face just lights up. You think he is probably the funniest person alive, though your Grampa is a close second :)
We have so many funny nicknames for your- Maxasaurus Rex, Tyrannosaurus Max, Maxers, Maxaronni, Mr. Baby, Bubbas, and my personal favorite, the Tiny Human. It's all in love of course, but I am interested to see what sticks.
What a fun month we've had... I can't wait to see what you'll surprise us with next!
Love,
Mama
