What's New:
More like what's the same?! Maverick is giggling, smiling, and really starting to have a personality. This month he started rolling over. He first started doing it in his crib. I was amazed when I'd wake up in the middle of the night and he'd be all frustrated because he was on his stomach. I'd wake Kyle up just to look at him before I'd roll him back over. (I'm sure he loved that.) Now he's rolling over during the day also. Not all the time, but he can definitely do it when he wants to. He also found his fingers this month. He has started sucking/chewing on two of his fingers and drooling a lot. I'm thinking we are in the beginning phase of teething. Lord help us. Mav has a strong grib and grasps at everything. I have not had my earring pulled yet and my fingers are crossed. I tried to take them out when I get home, but I don't always remember.

First airplane ride this month! We went from Tampa to Houston, Houston to HAWAII and then Hawaii to DC and DC back to Tampa. He was GREAT. We had plenty of room. The big plane from the mainland to Hawaii and back was United and had 2 seats on each side plus 3 in the middle. Kyle and I had seats on the side, so we essentially had our own row. It was great. PLUS United had free movies, games, tv shows, and music in the back of every head rest. I brought my nursing pillow and Mav was able to lay on my lap facing me so we could play. He also enjoyed some Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First, and the movie CARS. He couldn't hear any of it because I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to put headphones on or in a baby's ears, but he liked to watch.
Meeting his cousins Eli and Maile was such a treat for him. They all LOVED each other. Eli said, "He's a pretty cute baby!" Maile and him both gave lots of loves. Kylah was in Hawaii with us too and she was a great "babysitter" when I had to take a shower. All the kids played and played. Even though Mav just sat in the bouncy chair, they still included him and he had a blast.
Other firsts:
-Tampa Bay Rays baseball game and tailgate
-Mother's Day (first for mommy!)
-movies (It was a horrible movie--Fed Up, so we left early. But he was great.)
-zoo visit (At the Honolulu Zoo--Thanks Grandma Pete!)

Things He Loves:
-Still loves Logan the Lion
-Still loves TV (We've expanded our viewing channels to 1106 AND 1109. My favorite is Super Why. Mav likes everything!!)
-Being LIGHTLY tossed in the air or held up high above your head.
-The Itsy Bitsy Spider is constantly in our heads or coming out of our mouths these days.
Feeding: Doing great! Eating about every 3 hours (except when going through brain leaps and growth spurts, then it's like 1 1/2 to 2 hours). He occasionally grabs for my food when I'm holding him, so starting solids might be in the near future for us...Or so I thought everything was going great. Come to find out my supply took a huge dip. Maverick isn't gaining weight as fast as he should, which is why he dropped so much in the weight percentile. I'm having to pump every 2 hours during the day (and at 3am after he wakes up and nurses--UGH). It's so frustrating...I'm barely getting 2 ounces sometimes. I used to get like 11 ounces in one sitting. We are trying to bottle feed him 6 oz at a time as much as possible through the day to get him to sleep through the night. That hasn't happened yet. -Still loves TV (We've expanded our viewing channels to 1106 AND 1109. My favorite is Super Why. Mav likes everything!!)

Sleeping: Well...we were doing GREAT. Mav was going to be between 8:15pm and 9pm and not waking up until like 4am! I was in heaven. Then all of a sudden we went back to waking up every 3 hours. This week we are back to about 5-6 hour stretches. I think it has to do with the brain leap he's going through. I'm praying it's not sleep regression and if it is that it doesn't last FOREVER. I'm thinking we are going to try some sleep training this coming week. My summer schedule is so crazy, I don't know when a good time to do it is. But I neeeeeeeeeed sleep.
Best thing this month: Giggles. He's hilarious.
Worst thing this month:This little fussy period we are going through right now. I hate seeing him upset.
