Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! All the best for 2011!
Love,
Lea, Paul and baby Max xoxo

Max's bouncy seat- it puts him to sleep even faster than his stroller!

Many Faces of Max

Paul and I love to take note of all of Max's new expressions. Here are some of the faces I was able to catch on film today. There are many more ( and more each day), but I am not quick enough with the camera yet. Stay tuned- there will no doubt be many more to come!

"Enough with the pictures already, Mom!"

Mon Petit Chou

Everyday Max is more alert and more expressive. He is also growing before our eyes- we have had to retire many of his little pyjamas as they are way too small. Yesterday we bought him some new pyjamas, which are sized for a 3 month old, and they fit him nearly perfectly!

Happy baby

"I'm one month old already!'

Max's "tummy time"

Little Sweetheart

After a couple of fussy days and nights, Max was very calm and sweet today. Here are some shots of him hanging out in his co-sleeper before going shluffy this afternoon.

Max's Happy Place

Here is another short video of Max.

One Month

One month ago tonight, our lives were forever transformed by the birth of our beautiful baby boy. It has been the hardest, most wonderful month of my entire life.

Tired Daddy and Max (believe me, Mommy is looking very tired these days too)

Out for a walk with family today

Mini Max Clips

Here are a couple of videos of little Max just being Max. I'm not sure if these are actually interesting to anyone other than Paul and I. In case they're not, at least they are mercifully short.

Max Loves His Daddy...

...and his Daddy (and Mommy) love him! Who wouldn't love such a chubby little sweetheart? (says his doting mother)

Noir et Blanc

Just a couple of shots of you know who...

Family Encounter

Last night, little Max got to meet his Abuela Paula and his Tio Paco. It was love at first sight...

Baby Wearing Bliss

Tonight we tested out our new Ergo Baby carrier. We bundled Max up in his snowsuit and put him in the carrier to go for a walk. He seemed to like it, and slept peacefully the whole time (surprise, surprise). The carrier is actually very comfortable and it was great to have my hands free. I loved having little Max so close to me.

Our beautiful little "bundle"

Home Baby

One of Max's first documented smiles!

For some strange reason, Max really likes hanging out on his change pad.

Our sweet little matzo ball.

 

Chilling with new buddy Galya.

Sleeping on Mommy.

Out in the World

We have made it a point to go out for walks with Max every day, so that he can get some fresh air (and so that Mommy and Daddy don't go too stir crazy).

Running errands at Whole Foods and then on to Hero Burgers.

With Mommy and Daddy on Bloor Street, looking at the holiday windows.

Doing some reading at Chapters/ Indigo.

Checking out the Christmas lights.

Chunky Little Monkey

We had an appointment at the midwife's office today. Max is doing really well, is totally healthy, and weighs in at a whopping 10lbs 3oz (4.62 kg)! So, in 3 weeks, he has gained almost 2 lbs... a very healthy weight gain. Our little guy loves to eat and it shows.
Our next visit with the midwife is in 3 weeks from now.

Our little chunker at the midwife's office- he slept pretty much the entire visit.

In the taxi on the way home. Happily sleeping, as usual.

Three Week Birthday!

I can't believe Max is 3 weeks old today. I am amazed at how much he has already changed. It's funny, I already can't imagine my life without him.

Wide-eyed with wonder

Happy Max

"Hi Mommy!"

Fascinated by Bubbie's voice on the phone.

Gorgeous Little Punim

We are obviously biased, but Paul and I can't imagine anything cuter than our little Max Lazlo's gorgeous little punim.
