Happy 2 months!

Max is two months old today..he is a happy and sweet boy:-)

Giving mom the stink eye:

Mike took this picture as he was exiting the grocery store..hilarious:

we can't forget about Elise..lounging at Bed Bath & Beyond. She dressed herself. Clearly she doesn't take after me:

Happy Summer:-)

What is it...

about San Francisco that makes me equally intrigued and repelled? It's the only city I have ever spent a significant amount of time in where I can say I still feel divided. We will see where we end up next year;-)

Beach boy

Max's third trip to the beach...he absolutely loves it. Of course I have him sheltered in a portable bassinet but he loves the sound of the waves and feel of the breeze on his face.

How tired can someone be?

The are many levels of tired. I'm not sure which level hallucinating and speaking in tongues are on but I'm at that one. Mike is more seasoned in sleep deprivation and perhaps has better coping skills. I'm spoiled and need my rest. I'm not getting it.

Thankfully we have hired our regular babysitter as our part time nanny. Yes, I caved when I found out Mike would be traveling to Dallas to find out who shot JR talk about brain aneurysms for a few days. It has been wonderful having her help during the week with the kids so I can have one-on-one time with each of them and most importantly, nap.

Max had one blissful night where he slept 5 hours, woke to eat and then slept another 4. That got us through a few days but he has since returned to the usual waking every 1-2 hours and keeping us awake with his "baby noises" while he sleeps. He is gaining weight like a champ-birth weight was 6 lb, 3 oz and he is now about 10 and 1/2 lbs!

The music never stopped...

one of my favorite memories of our wedding was drinking champagne straight from the bottle and dancing to that Dead song. Maybe I'll do that tonight;-)

Happy Anniversary to my best guy over the age of 6 weeks!
