Max's 1st Hanukkah
Luca excited in front of the ridiculous amount of present accumulated from Mom, Dad, Grandparents and cousins... What to open first? He opened an awesome off-roader from Andrew and Justin and an Erector Set from Grandma/Grandpa. Pretty great 1st night for Luca!
Luca lighting Uncle Steven's menorah since Mommy forgot our family menorah in the Connecticut house.

Max Crawling
Obviously I'm catching up on blog posts tonight. This the last one for today - tomorrow hopefully I will be on point to upload the 9 month pic (along with months 7 & 8 which are still on the camera) after his check-up in the morning...
Here is one of the first moments crawling. Thank goodness for iPhone video so I catch the moments fast when I don't have camera handy! Here is is scooting across the floor in the playroom in our building.

Max - 6 Months
WOW! I am really growing fast!
21 lbs, 29" long
Still maintaining my record of 95% height and weight.
(We cross checked the stats with Luca's growth. He hit this height and weight at his 8 month check-up. At 6 months, Luca was only 17.5 lbs and 26.75" long).
Milestones:
Nearly sitting up on his own
Drooling everywhere, we expect more teeth any day now!
Loves to watch his brother and his dad
Watching mommy blowdry hair has strong calming effect
Eating 3 meals a day solid food, tried his first proteins - poultry and egg yolk
Passing things hand to hand
Enjoying tummy time
Prefers sleeping on his side now instead of his back
Favorite toy: that trendy rubber giraffe chew toy
and
Still quite bald!

Napa Visit
A little belated - we're trying to catch up on posts!
We had a fabulous week in Napa last month visiting our old NYC neighbors and dear friends, the Dragoos. Luca and Austin were so happy to be reunited - they remembered all their old games and funny made-up words. We were so happy to meet Austin's new brother, Hayden. Max and Hayden will be good buddies one day! They are exactly 2 months apart, just like Luca and Austin. We spent every day outside at the local parks, eating well and just relaxing together like old times over here at the Riverhouse. We miss you guys!
Lunch at Taylor's Refresher

Max - 5 Months
I realize its been exactly a month since our last post. I have a bit to catch up on!
Max is 5 months and still topping the charts measuring over 95% in height and weight.
Height: 27-3/4"
Weight: 19 lbs, 14 oz.
Last week he got two teeth, one on 7/28 and the other on 7/29. The pediatrician had us start him on solids early since he had started waking in the night again. Apparently a 4 month old as large as Max needs more than just breastmilk to be satisfied! So far he has tried apples, pears, banana, sweet potato, squash, chayote squash, prunes, carrots, oats and rice cereal. He doesn't care for bananas.

Loves having his cheeks tickled...

Luca Turns 4
Riding the metro to the center of Milan to visit the Ferrari Store (Its a surprise, at this point he still doesn't know where we are going)
"I'm 4!"
In Michael Schumacher's F1 Ferrari Racecar
Eating nice lunch outside with Mommy and Daddy. Gnocchi with pesto and focaccia.
Picking out supreme gelato for dessert
Milk chocolate, his favorite (this week)
Special Ferrari cake
Refused to let us sing Happy Birthday and light candles, but he still wanted to eat cake. I think he was a little worn out from the trip to the center!
Passed out after a long day! New car from Ferrari store in lap, new hat on head :)
