Slept the entire flight again but decided to poop as we were getting turbulence and descending. Changing diapers on airplanes is not fun!

Today I turned two months old! I am a strong little man. When I get mad, I love to throw myself around and head butt whoever is holding me. I also like to kick and punch to show I'm very happy and excited. I love to stick my tongue out and blow bubbles. I always try to stand when I'm picked up and I get mad when I can't look around. I talk and laugh a lot more now and I still eat like a piggy. I have also flown four times in less than two weeks and for all of them, I slept. I got to see daddy one last time for awhile and I was so happy to see him! ☺️ We love you, Maverick. You are growing into such a lovable and sweet little man! ❤️




Maverick's First Month. (captioned by Kirsten)

Maverick James 
7lbs 7oz and 20 1/4 inches
Went in at 2am this morning to be sent home with no change. Woke up to contractions at 3 mins apart and thought I just had to poop. The lady told me to just wait a little longer and I waited two more contractions before I made Brian take me around 7am. Ended up being 6cm dilated and everything went into craziness. They took me to a room to prep me for an epidural and never got it because by 8:30am, I wanted to push lol. They checked and he was lip. About 10 mins later, they broke my water and now our precious son is finally here! ðŸ’™ You were so stubborn throughout my pregnancy but gave me such a quick and easy labor! We love you baby boy!

Maverick's first bath. He hated every second of it. He first peed all over the floor before I got him in and then afterwards, pooped while in his towel. Needless to say, his one bath turned into two!

Our little man is one month old today! He loves to smile and laugh and he loves when you give him raspberries. He has started to "talk" and loves to talk to you at 3am when you want to sleep. He also likes to yell at you, too. He has an obsession with corners and ceiling fans and will stare at them and creep you out. He likes to watch tv, especially football and has started watching mommy play video games, too. He now eats between 4-6 ounces every feeding and will pass right out into a milk coma. He is the best and cutest baby ever! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!










Professional Photo Shoot.

It seems that the circle pictures must be placed by the wayside for the time being.  Not only is it nearly impossible to gather everyone together, but most of them are so tall that we need a HUGE floor space to stage the shot!

Sarah took matters into her own hands and arranged for a photographer to take a portrait while we were all in town for Thanksgiving.  She even scouted out locations and gave us a color scheme to follow.
