{ Baby } OOTD: Plaid + duckies

{ 10 weeks }

I don't know why Max always looks like he wants to box. Many of his baby pix to date, including his birth announcement, show him with a balled-up fist. He's so cute, my little strongman! Today was a day for kicking back and relaxin' in the house, so Max is wearing cropped jammies with a duck print and prep-school plaid legwarmers gifted from my sister. They're so stylish and cozy, I kinda want to rip them off him and steal them. Is it wrong to steal from a baby?

Speaking of duckies, I noticed that Baby Max starts smiling real wide whenever I put him on the changing table. Now, I know he can't be loving diaper changes, so I followed his eyes upward one day and found him squealing in delight at the University of Miami mascot mobile––all four hanging Sebastians (ibises really, not a duck, although it looks like one) are at the perfect height right over my head. To Max, they look like they're walking on mommy! This never fails to entertain him... Silly ducks...

So, Baby Max is 10 weeks today. He had his 8-week wellness check recently, and weighed in at 11lbs 11oz! A solid round number. Max has grown out of his "Newborn" sized clothing. These look so teeny tiiiiiny now and honestly, I can't really remember how he was ever that wee. It makes me cry a little at how fast time seems to go by now. I just want him to stay a baby! I love how The Fella can scoop him up with just one hand, and yet I have developed a touch of early onset arthritis in my fingers and wrists from holding him so much!
