SO this will be quick because it has taken me 6 hours from opening this post to actually getting it done.....this was one of 5 projects this last week. this is the one that was the longest in the waiting and i can't believe erick finished it in 4 days.....unfortunately i don't have before before pictures of how the room was before i painted it red....but we finally decided the red wasn't exactly what we wanted...although red is fabulous. and very happy. so we (erick) painted it green and erick put up all the wainscoting, baseboards adn chair rails....I LOVE IT. it is so happy and awesome.....never fear color.

2 Month Max

Tomorrow Max hits 8 weeks. I think I'm amazed at how fast he (and probably children in general) develops each week. By now, he can hold his head up, only waking up once during the night, and has started to smile on purpose - I think. At least it seems that we can encite some good smiles on occasion. I have now been back to work for 2 weeks. Which hasn't been too bad - separation wise. The actual job is another story. But Erick has been bringing Max to have lunch with me everyday so that has made the days go quick. Feeding is still probalby my biggest stress, but i'm trying to relax and just do my best. But I would never EVER have thought I would say that I am SICK of eating and drinking. I feel like i'm shoving my face with food or water every second of the day just to keep up production. Interesting visual I'm sure. We have yet to have his 2-month doctor appt, but I think he must be a good 30 inches now. He seems to only be growin length-wise. But after the last two days of eating, we are expecting a rapid en-fattening.

We went on our second walk - this time I broke out the carrier that my friend Nicole gave me. It was a good walk. However, instead of keeping Max awake like I wanted, he promptly fell into a deep coma.

Favorite pic #5 - I think this exemplifies his adorable-ness. And our lack of parent-ly responsbility of where we sit our child....

I think this looks like Grandpa Hodgson....Yes?

FIrst day back to work - decided to have a photo shoot first. Max is always up for camera time
