why?
because someone would rather hold a camera than hold me.
that's the bitter truth little boys and girls.
when you're as cute as I am, the only warmth you get is the withering heat of camera flashes.

Yet another L2 Containment Failure
When Max's diapers fail to contain the torrent unleashed by his powerful bowel movements, it's a good thing:
1) His diapers are getting too small. If you check back to the previous L2 containment failure, it occurred around the time when he was switching to 1-2 diapers from the size 1s. And unless Pampers is pulling a fast one by re-marking their 1 diapers as 1-2s, it means Maximus is maximizing, always a good sign in a baby.
2) Bathtime. He doesn't get bathed as much as I would like to have him bathed, and it seems like every time we bath him, we seem to have missed a spot (because it tastes or smells funny. Don't ask about the tasting part.) But this is an opportunity for the little guy to get splash happy, and he's starting really enjoy bath time, just like his dad.
We noticed last time that the bathtub we have (will find a link to it soon if you pester me) rubs the small of his back, which they attempted to relieve with a foam pad. I don't know who the PM for the product was, but they need to go back to injection molding school, there should be no reason why that protrusion should be so pronounced.
So we cover it with a thick handtowel and he seems to like that. He also LOVES looking at himself in the mirror (narcissism anyone?) but I can't blame him, if I was THAT cute I'd be checking myself out all the time.
so when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, but in Maximus' case, you don't make lemonade out of it, cause that'd be totally and irrevocably disgusting. In fact , the very thought of making even teabags out of his poop covered diapers (they seem like they're rolled in it, the absorption layer is filled) leaves an imprint on my mind which no amount of goodness can seem to overcome, and the fathoms of growdiness haunt my dreams.
Yes I know I just shared with you.
Happy new years everyone!

my first christmas!
hi everyone
at 10 weeks I had my first christmas, it was very fun!
Auntie Mei and Uncle Stephen came to visit me on sunday, they brought me a fun 3 stage playpen and I got to see their baby (in her tummy). I can't wait for another playmate!
on christmas eve, dad made this yummy roast pork, with cloves of garlic stuffed in it.
I like the smell of garlic, and enjoy watching daddy slave away in the kitchen.
then I went to grandma and grandpa's and got lots of presents and a christmas tree.
I wore the outfit that uncle Carlos bought me, don't I look handsome?
I visited my cousin Aiden after lunch and snack and afternoon nap, and my aunt winnie and uncle Bobby. He has a loooooooooot of hair. I started getting grumpy so we couldn't really talk shop - but he seems to be very happy starting month 3.
Then we had hot pot for Christmas dinner, how chinesey?
Last night uncle george, auntie helen, auntie cynthia, ON.TV, uncle elliot, cousin Aspen, auntie Su, and uncle Franny came over and they played with me till midnight! I had sooooooooo much fun, pushing buttons on my ABC toy my auntie got me, and I even got to pass out a couple times while being carried. I love attention!
I'm cooing and smiling all the time now, with enough drool to soak up a full tissue. Daddy estimates my weight to be 12.5 pounds, but that's just using his bathroom scale which has a terrible level of precision.
I like dancing to Nelly Furtado, love the smells of the kitchen (which I mentioned before), like to coo and girls and smile to manipulate them into giving me attention (I'm so handsome!), standing and kicking, and waking up Mommy and Daddy at 3 hour intervals.
Please excuse the sloppy grammar in this post, I haven't finished Strunk and White quite yet.
No onward for New Years Debauchery!

level 2 containment failure
it's like a star trek episode.
me wearing the red shirt.
max sitting in my lap, smiling away as I play Mass Effect.
Mom is taking a shower.
Then I realize...he's been far too quiet, for far too long.
in the words of my favorite amphibians - It's a little too quiet.
I pull max back to see a HUGE brown spot the size of his back on his, well...on his back.
Level 2 containment failure!
(level 1 is when a #1 escapes the side of the diaper, we haven't had those since we switched to 1-2 size diapers. pampers ftw)
Level 2 containment is, well, level 1, but with a number 2.
So I pick him up, grab the tub from the wall and we use the shower hose to fill it. Mommy is on water level patrol - plugging and unplugging the tub to drain it, while I scrub him down.
Then I thoroughly Shout!! the stains, and then woolite them in the hottest water possible.
The green applesauce flushes down the drain and hopefully the stains will be mere memories after the next wash.
I just realized at this point <> that my shirt had been rubbing against him as I was undressing him out of his poopie-sauced covered clothes.
They've been ripped off me and thrown across the room.
Casualty.

GAH Needles!
Needles are teh suck.
today I got stabbed 3 times by this nurse while my dad held me down and mom cowered in the corner.
Ok maybe it wasn't like that...
It was my 2 month checkup and I have to do vaccinations - hep A, staph, some other stuff. One was oral, the other 3 were the needles. Poor dad almost cried watching me cry out the pain. Luckily I bounce back like a trooper, right now I'm snoring on dad's tummy.
Dr. Lee noticed that I cry a lot. He says it's an indicator that I'm going to be fussy as time goes on. This is because he's never had a 2 month old baby cry when his clothes were off. But when dad picked me up and held me on his warm chest, I shut up immediately. I do like it warm, what's wrong with that?!
He also made some remark about "Max knows how to get what he wants..."
of course I do! I take after my mom! :P
Dad's going to post some pictures later, and he's been recording some really cute video of me as well. He'll figure out how to post and link to it.
until next time, ta ta!
