Hi out there! How is everyone? Staying nice and warm I hope (it seems to be cold everywhere but here. I'm not complaining!).

Max is now 8 and a half weeks. I can't believe how fast the past 2 months have gone. Max is constantly changing but is still our adorable and irresistable peanut who stays up all night. All he wants to do is be around us. We have some nasty habits of his to break already. But we'll get to it all soon enough. Right now we are just enjoying every second of him. 

He sleeps best in his  Babybjorn. He can conk out in there for HOURS! 

Max and I are heading home to Montreal at the end of February(the 27th through March 8th) and we are SO excited to see everyone! Max is dying to meet the Canadian contingent of the family (almost as much as he looks forward to heading to the UK later this year!) and have his first taste of cold snowy Montreal winter weather. We will be bundling up and staying inside where it is nice and warm. He can see the snow from the inside looking out. It will be ineresting to see how he does on a plane! Poor little guy will have a long day of travel. But as long as there is a mommy to cuddle up to and lots to eat..I think he will be just fine (and inevitably the center of attention as he already is). 

Other than that - all is well. Max is making us laugh constantly. He has a lot of spirit and attitude. He is great company during the day. Hates being on his tummy. Finally is learning to love his swing. LOVES his pacifier (or someone's clean finger).  Really enjoys books and stories. Has his own iPod filled with Max music including Raffi, Sharon, Lois, and Bram, and Disney soundtrack music. Enjoys taking a shower.  And overall is just awesome! 

And now I am off to get him ready for bed while daddy gets ready to give him a bottle before sleep. Here are some new pictures of Mr.Max who can't wait to meet all of you soon! 

Enjoy!

Max falls asleep and nothing can wake him - other than us putting him down! Sleeps with his mouth open - where did he get that from? 

Umm...no comment...

Max looks right into the webcam so we can take a picture to send Daddy at work so he knows we miss him during the day.

Max sports some stylin' post-shower hair! 

Grandpa came for a visit and Max happily used him as a pacifier!

Daddy and Grandpa shared the stroller pushing duties. 

Going in for the nose pick! 

Mommy and Grandpa!

Happy Max! 

BIG Yawns! 

Daddy's favorite expression!

Laughing at Daddy!

And that's it for this update! Stay tuned for more photos and Max updates soon. He has his next doctors appointment in 3 weeks so we will let you know what happens with him then. I expect him to be at least 15 pounds (ok..maybe closer to 8). We love you guys!
