Looks like we're going to adopt a weekly posting schedule, with updates on Sunday evening until further notice. We'll probably have a few one-offs in the middle of the week, but this will at least give you a sure thing each week.

This week was an opportunity for me to take a little more time off work to spend with our new family member. It's been a nice blend of rest, relaxation, and constant pooping. We're both getting pretty used to managing things, though I know Christy is still pretty tired from having to get up every 2-3 hours throughout the night.

Despite our dedication to keeping him house-bound for a full month, we wound up having to take him out a few times this week. He seemed to take his trip to the photographer fairly well, aside from being very upset by all the flashing. Despite the fact that he slept almost the entire time, we managed to get a few good pictures for our Christmas card/baby announcement.

Tonight we had a good visit with Max's grandparents (on Christy's side), who braved illness and bitter cold (for Texas) to drop by. Even though they didn't get a chance to hold him, they still managed to spoil him with a wonderful ornament to commemorate his first Christmas. Thanks again!

Shiny!
