Posting by Max:

Well, I have been here with my family for almost 5 months so I decided I would personally let you know how I am doing. Things here with my new family have been good. They are pretty nice people and I have been enjoying myself. My brother and sister are real good to me. They love to play with me. Tyler always comes and talks to me when I am upset and Mom can't get to me. Isabella loves to help Mom "buckle" my diaper when I need a changing. Yea, they are good to me ... I think I will keep Tyler and Isabella around and not ask for replacements!

The Doctor said I needed to start eating food in the morning and night. I gained 4 pounds my first 2 months alive but then I only gained a little over one pound the following 2 months. I thought that was strange because I LOVE to eat!! I will nurse for hours if Mom would let me! So, per the Doctors orders, Mom started me on rice cereal. I didn't really like that too much. But she made me eat it for about a week before she would move on to something a little more tasty.Mom is a very cheap lady! She decided to start making my baby food rather than buying it. What is that??? I was skeptical at first, but then, when I found out that she was mixing breast milk in with the food, I was s-o-l-d, SOLD!!! I have even found that I LOVE carrots made that way!
I am driving Mom nuts with the way I sleep! I HATE it when she puts me in bed awake for naps so I let her know exactly how much I don't approve of her methods!! I get very upset and scream and scream and scream. Sometimes I scream SO much that you can't even hear me scream anymore. At that point, Mom comes and gets me (hee,hee,hee!! I have her so trained!). I WILL nap for her though if we lay in her bed and I get to nurse my way to sleep! I have made my naps a big challenge for her. However, I do go to bed at night very easily. In return, I ONLY ask that she comes and gets me at 5:30 in the morning so I can snuggle in her bed with her and nurse. That is my favorite thing to do! Can I tell you a secret? DON'T TELL MOM - I am not even sure if I am hungry at 5:30 am!! HEE,HEE,HEE!! Remember, you promised not to tell her! ;)
Anyways, I am very happy here and doing well. My smiles say it all:
With much love,
Max
