We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! We enjoyed ourselves so much this year! Max is definitely the best Christmas present ever for us!

When Max was born, there were a million things we could capture with the video camera. Hanging out with the grandparents, making faces at the hospital, riding home in the car...then we got home and everything was just work, work, work. It felt like it would be a bit silly to fill our web hosting space with videos of him sleeping, pooping, and eating.

Recently, though, he started doing stuff. Fun stuff.

Amazingly enough, we've gone completely off of our regular posting schedule. We keep trying to make these happen on Sunday, but then we sit on the couch and we get sleepy and...well, at least we're posting semi-weekly.

Over the last week, Christy went back to work (luckily, at home full-time), Max started smiling more frequently, and I found out how to turn off the water main (more on this at the bottom of the post). Max also went in for his 2 month visit...

After Max's appointment last week, he decided to give us a bit of a scare. Thankfully, after a few days of being very lethargic (not that we could complain about a baby that sleeps more often) and congested, he's back to his normal self. He's been having quite the week, with lots of trips into the outlands and lots of visits from outlanders. We had a chance to see little Mikey again (who has a new haircut that makes him look 35) as well as some meddlers from the Wyatt clan that were passively instrumental in our initial meeting. A quick visit from Nancy (Christy's friend) later, and we brought our weekend to a close.

So...why "Smiley Boy"? Well, Max is getting some more of his social faces and he's becoming quite the happy baby. We'll let the pictures and the video speak for themselves...

This week has been such a blur! It seemed like we had something going on almost every day of the week.
