Today was Max's first day with his new nanny Maria. We hired her last week and for the next few days we are doing a trial run which started today. She came with a glowing recommendation and I instantly felt she was a great fit. Her usual work week will be Monday to Friday but because I wanted to be home on her first day she started on a Sunday. I told her what was most important to me and what I expected of her and she informed me what she needed. We agreed that she would set the day time schedule for him in the next two weeks so she could get to know him more and see what he is like during the day. I told her I wanted him on a set napping schedule during the day in his crib and that she needs to work on that with him. She will also cook and clean when he is napping which is great for us. She played with him all day long while we had friends over and from what I observed things went great. I hope she will be happy here and that things go smoothly. Tomorrow Steve will stay home one last day to make sure things run smoothly here and to take her to our doctors office so she knows where to go if something ever happened. She is a nurse which is great and already informed us that Max's breathing seemed a bit abnormal to her when he sleeps and that we should just get it checked out to make sure it's nothing serious which we will do.
Yesterday was the first time I took Max alone into Manhattan. We drove in to help one of my best friends register for her baby girl and then we had lunch. Max slept in the car both ways and was such a good boy the entire time. Daddy stayed home and got some well deserved quiet time. Here is the soon to be father with Max and I:
Every night Max gets some "naked" time so he can let his butt air out from all the diapers. Here are some photos:
Daddy and Mommy even managed a night out:
