Week 9 pics

Max celebrated his 2 month birthday this past Thursday 9/5. He also went to his 2 month well visit, current stats: 23.5 inches and 12.5 pounds and developing well. He's becoming more alert and smiling voluntarily more, which hopefully you can tell from this weeks pics. He's also discovered his reflection and will sit and talk to it for a few minutes. Aside from talking to his reflection he loves to taking to the animals on his mat. Most importantly though he talks to us and although we speak nonsense to each other we can talk with each other. Basically we make a sound, then he makes a sound and we try to mimic it so we make the same noise. He'll also mimic our sounds, or try to as much as a baby can anyway. There is a coo he does that is his way of saying hi. It almost sounds like the word hi, he makes a hard H sound and moves his tongue just enough to push the beginnings of an I sound, sort like a "haaaaaa".

Max also has a new nickname, a smoosh of the first 2 letters of his first and last names = MaFo. We had been calling him Maxo, Lomax or Mr Max, but we like MaFo too, wonder if it'll stick?
