Max continues to surprise us with new behavior, some of which resulted in his dad having to miss a business trip to Seattle late this week. After his seemingly endless battle with head congestion, he decided to scare the crap out of us with what appeared to be minor seizures. We took a trip to the doctor and were told that it was probably a panic reaction to stomach pains, which were caused by a probable stomach bug.

Yeesh.

The week hasn't been all bad, though...

This week, we finally got a chance to indulge our greedy side and keep Max all to ourselves. It wasn't a big week, but a good one just the same. Max has two best friends now named Ceiling Fan and Tasty Fist. He relentlessly chews/sucks on one while intently watching the other. The question of which he does with which is left as an exercise to the reader.

We also had a few firsts this week.

It's not Sunday, but we can't always make the deadline. To make up for it, we've provided an abundance of photos and even some video for your viewing pleasure.

Another month has passed, and Max is growing by leaps and bounds. He's almost mastered control of his neck, and is spending a lot more time cooing and smiling at us. It's been a pretty eventful week, with a visit to the doctor, crib sleeping, and a visit from the northern grandparents.
