Well, son.. you are three month old today. You are an alert, smiley baby. Everyone who meets you is enchanted by your big, gummy smile. You enjoy playing by yourself now, you are curious and starting to reach out and feel the world around you. This month has been a good month for sleep. You've finally figured out how to fall asleep on your own. We've been practicing this for a nearly two months now and I am happy to say that at nap times when I lay you down and fall asleep alone. Not sure how long this will last but for now you're falling sleep alone! Well, almost alone. It's just you and your thumb. Your thumb has become your new best friend. You talk to it. You hug it. And you spend a lot of time looking at it. Maybe we should name your thumb? You even try to talk with your thumb in your mouth. I have to say that your thumb is my new best friend too because now you're sleeping nearly 12 hours a night.
We had a little scare this month because you wouldn't poop. You went almost six days without a sign of pooping and we took you to the hospital where you did an impressive poop with the help from the nice doctor. The great poop watch 2007 continued until today when you did the biggest poop I've ever seen. It was coming out all over he place. I put you straight into the sink and washed you from waist down. You acted like nothing had happened. But you sure were happy afterwards:
So, you probably think your mom is crazy writing about poop and you sucking your thumb. These are the things that make my world turn right now. You are the most important thing that has happened to me. Time is going by fast, my boy... before you know you'll be kissing girls! Oh, wait... I've already caught you doing that...
Meet Maximilien's new girlfriend, Sophie La Girafe.
aw! happy birthday! :)

Maybe he takes after his aunt with the thumb and sleeping 12 hours a night? :)

In fact, Sophie is getting around a bit. I have a friend here who has a little girl the same age as Max and she has one too!!

Sophie the Giraffe was my daughter Sophie's constant companion until we lost it one day. In Beijing! And we had to figure out that going to sleep alone thing all over again...

What a happy boy he is! God bless the almighty Thumb. Hey, whatever gets you through the night, right? Happy petite anniversaire, Max.

We have a Sophie, too, although my MIL suggested that her squeak was a little too "strident" (as opposed to the one she provide her children, apparently). You are such a good photographer. I'm glad the poop thing worked out, by the way.
