After all the excitement of the delivery, things started to slow down a little. Max is getting much more sleep than we have, but we're just happy that he's healthy and eating well. We have him on a good schedule, and I'm getting used to dealing with the concentrated evil coming out of his back end. Why doesn't anyone ever tell me about these things?

New photos after the jump.

Max has had quite a week for himself. He's continued to pursue his goal of pressing a few more teeth through his gums (four so far). He perfected the art of sticking his tongue out at people. He nearly perfected his middle finger, which he's been showing to everyone whether we like it or not. He spent hours and hours in the car. He spent hours and hours in The Woodlands with his four cousins.

Like I said, quite a week. That's also why we had a little delay in our blogging this round. Luckily it was only delayed for a day this time. I think we'll just let the photos speak for themselves from here on out.

Now that Max has found himself in the lull between his birthday and Christmas, he's settling into a pretty usual routine and not doing much new stuff.

Okay, that's a lie. He's unstoppable. We have no idea what's coming every day.

What can I say? We missed a week due to the crazy that comes along with the holiday. After Max's birthday weekend, we spent much of the week getting things back in order around here, which led into another crazy weekend with a visit from Mikey and a trip up to Sherman for first Thanksgiving...shortly followed by second Thanksgiving. Which means we have a lot of photos to share.

It feels weird after so long to post an actual up-to-date blog. Thankfully, we had Nan and Papa up this weekend to help out with the boys, which means we have a smidgen of free time this week somewhere in all the crazy that is raising these two.
