Maxley slept in his big boy bed last night for the first time! He did really well and slept in 3 hour stints all night which means we only had to go in a few times! Win!!
He napped in it on Sunday for the first time and so we thought, why not? Let’s try it! Him sleeping in my room clearly isn’t working so let’s try this. He is still hooked up to his heart and oxygen monitor so we know he is doing well in there.
Nana Pam left on Saturday night and we were very sad to see her go. She was so incredibly helpful. She knew how to do everything and was on the ball with all of it. She loves Maxley too which is all I can ask for. She will hopefully be back soon after the holidays for another few weeks. I think (hopefully she agrees) that we just get along really well. She is super fun and easy to be around. She is patient, kind and understanding.
As of Friday he was 9lbs 2oz. He is still in newborn size clothes but some are starting to get a little tight. The 0-3 seem so big, he swims in some of them!
We got pictures with Santa and his America cousins on Sunday and then we surprised great grandma by stopping by and seeing her. He had never been to great grandmas and so she was so excited to see him!!
Maxley hates the car seat and lets you know it. On the way out of my Grandmas neighborhood I got pulled over for turning my lights on late. My car is new and apparently I don’t know how to work the lights yet, I don’t know. Well Maxley was screaming bloody murder in the back seat and I couldn’t find my insurance card. The guy obviously took pity on me and let me go. I would have lost it if he gave me a ticket, might as well have. Cherry on top.
