Max ~ 4 Months Old

Max is 4-1/2 months old now.  This week has been a big week for him.  He cut his first two teeth and rolled over from his back to his belly.  At his 4 month check up, a couple weeks ago, he weighed 17 lbs 3 oz (88th percentile) and was 26" long (85th percentile).  He is a happy, relaxed baby.  He always has a smile for us and we love to hear his laugh.  He loves watching his big sister.  Calleigh continues to tell us, almost daily, how much she loves her little brother.  Max is a cat-napper, usually only taking a couple of 45 minute naps throughout the day, which is rough, but is making up for that a little bit by sleeping well at night (usually 8-10 hours). 

Some of my favorite pics of my smiley, happy boy over the last couple months.

Bathtime!  Check out those rolls. :)

 Aww, so sweet.

This guy knows how to flirt with the ladies already.

Playtime with Daddy.

Love those chubby cheeks and that dimple!

Welcome Mason!

On October 4th, we were blessed with another nephew, Mason J Fieberkorn.  We were lucky enough to get to the hospital about a half hour before he was born and be some of the first people to welcome him to the world.

Mason, about an hour old.

 Calleigh was very excited to meet and hold her new cousin.

Amazing what a difference a few months can make!  Max and Mason were born 3-1/2 months apart.

Cousins!

Are you ready for some football?

Calleigh is!  She cheered on the maize and blue in her cheerleading outfit.

Max's Baptism

September 9th was a very special day.  Max was baptized and we were able to celebrate the special occasion with family and the Rupps.  Rick and Jen are Max's godparents.

Great-Grandma Fieberkorn crocheted Max's baptismal outfit.

Grandpa Webster made this faith chest for Max to store keepsakes, including a quilt he received from our church.

Family Vacation

With summer coming to a close and the start of preschool just around the corner for Calleigh, we decided, kind of last minute, to take advantage of the long Labor Day weekend and take a mini family vacation to Traverse City.  We made a side trip to visit Gramps and Grandma Stringer, too. 

Gramps made sure the old tire swing, that Russ used to play on as a kid, was up for Calleigh.

Gramps and Grandma couldn't wait to get their hands on Max.

Mmmm!  Yummy s'mores by the campfire.

Our hotel in Traverse City was right across the street from the Traverse City State Park Beach.  We walked over there one evening.  Not sure what we were thinking taking Calleigh over in her clothes.  Of course, she fell in the water and got completely soaked!

We found a beach to play at for a while.

Max got to chill in his little beach cabana.
