Shortly after Alex turned 5 years old Max turned a month old, which is hard to believe. It's hard to believe that he has been a part of our home for a month already. Max is doing well...gaining weight like crazy. Last week he was over 10 lbs, far from his 8 lbs 6 oz birth weight. We go to the Dr. on Monday again and I am anxious to see how much he weighs. Max is what I call a high maintenance baby, but that is just compared to Alex. For the past week he has been very cranky, angry, and screams all day. He has quieted down at night time and normally gets up, eats and goes right back down, so that is a blessing. During the day he has to constantly be on the move, be held, or sleeping, or eating (his favorite thing). I have been concerned that it is reflux, colic or something I am eating. However after trying numerous things and keeping a record of his waking and fussy times I am finding he just has cranky times. Probably a little bit of colic and gas so we are using Mylicon drops like they are candy! But either way Max has brought a new dynamic to our family. Our lives have changed and we have found a new routine but we wouldn't change it for the world. For now I live in a world of boys where I complain about smelly house, toilet seat up, wrestling, loud noises, sound effects etc etc...but like my husband said I should probably get use to it. And I am...and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love the 3 boys in my life!
