The View From Here

Monday, October 30, 2006


I am now 13 weeks and growing bigger and bigger every day. At My doctor's appointment this past Monday I weighed 14.6 pounds and was almost 25 inches long! I am such a big handsome boy!

We had a very busy weekend this weekend, on Saturday Me and Mommy and Daddy went to Hamilton to my friend's Aria's 2nd Birthday. It was a HUGE party and Dora the Explorer and Blue from Blues Clues were there. (or course it was really just people dressed in costumes, but I didn't know that!) I love Mom and Dad's friend Steve who was dressed up like a skeleton with a scary skeleton face, I smiled and giggled at him, I wasn't scared at all! Then we went to Grandma and Grampa Knight's house where I finally got to meet Uncle Rob, Auntie Kathy and my cousin's Asher and Abby. I liked them a lot, and I think they liked me too! I have been waiting and waiting to meet them!

I have a halloween costume too, but I don't have any good pictures of me wearing yet, so stay tuned for that in next weeks newsletter.

Today we went to Kitchener to visit my half-sister, Nisha. There is a picture of her feeding me my bottle, I liked her a lot and smiled at her lots. Last time I met her I slept pretty much the whole time. We were going to go to a pumpkin farm with her too, but it was way too windy and cold out, so we just braved the traffic and went home.

I am still chewing on my hands like no tomorrow and am learning how to grab on to things like my clothes, or blankets and sometimes, if Mommy helps me, one of my toys. I have also just discovered that I have feet, so I like to lift them up in the air and stare at them a lot, it's pretty cool, being a baby!

Anyway everyone, hope you all had a good weekend too!

Until Next time,

Luv Baby Max

Hi Everyone!

Can you believe that I am now 12 weeks old!?!?! Holy cow! I am getting so big now, my mom and dad can hardly believe it.

Mom thought I had a doctor's appointment last Monday but it is actually on the 23rd, so in my next newsletter I will have info on how much I weigh and stuff. I know I weigh at least 14 pounds now! I am such a happy little guy, I smile all the time and I just love hanging out with Mom during the daytime and I am so happy when Daddy comes home and we hang out and he feeds me a bottle, it's our special me and Daddy time.

I think I am going through a growth spurt this week because I am eating so much and have been a little bit fussy and not sleeping as well as I normally do. Hopefully I will be over that soon and get back to my regular schedule. I have also learned how to chew on my hands and I love it. I do it so much it was hard for Mommy to get very many pictures of me without my hands in my mouth! I also learned how to blow bubbles and I slobber a lot now, especially all over Mommy's shoulder and shirts, she loves me though, so it's ok!

Mommy met a new friend this week, and so did I! Mommy's new friend has a baby too, her name is Noemi and she is almost 6 months old. We stared at each other a lot and every time she started to "talk" so did I, Mommy thought it was pretty hilarious. I like other babies, I have decided.

Today we spent the day outside downtown, it was cold out so I had to get all bundled up. I am not too crazy about hoods and hats, but today I was ok.

Anyway friends and family, I hope you have a good this week!

Lots of Love and slobbery kisses,

Max

Hi Friends and Family!

It's Max, sending you the weekly newsletter to keep you all updated on just how adorable I keep getting!

This past weekend we went to Mommy's parents house, Grampa and Nana McColl. Boy did I ever have fun. I also got to see my Uncle's Jay and Cory and My Great-Aunt-Gramma Juanita (it's complicated, lol) They all loved me lots.

I fell in love with a few of the light fixtures at their house and smiled and talked quite a bit to the fridge (or the magnets on the fridge?) I haven't figured out yet what things talk back and which things don't, lol.

I had lots of fun, but was very happy to come home again where my mobile was and to see Daddy, who I gave a huge smile when he came to pick me and mommy up at the train station. I have almost learned to laugh now, Mommy is pretty sure I will have my first real laugh any day now, I am so close. You should see the silly things mom and dad do to try and get me to laugh!

Anyway, Hope everyone is doing ok!
Enjoy the pictures,
Max

Hello there Everyone!

This past weekend was very busy for me, on Friday I got to go downtown to see my Grandma Shaw who was visiting Toronto for a little bit, we had lots of fun and stayed out all day and then picked Daddy up from work. Then on Saturday we went to Grandma and Grampa Knight's for Thanksgiving, I didn't get to eat any Turkey, but it sure smelled good! I started to get really cranky and missing home though so we came back on Sunday night and I was happy to see my room again with all my stuffed animal friends who I missed a lot.

This weekend I get to go with Mommy to My Grampa and Nana McColl's to visit and have another thanksgiving! Holy Cow! Daddy can't come with us cause he has band stuff so I will miss him lots, but I'm sure I will have lots of fun with Grampa and Nana and my uncle's Jay and Cory, hopefully I won't get too homesick.

Looking forward to Uncle Rob and Auntie Kathy and Asher and Abigail to come back to Ontario and meet me!
