Aunt Sarah flew in from Denver and finally got to meet Maxwell this weekend! They hit it off right away ; )

Waiting for Aunt Sarah to arrive on Friday morning

Handing him over.. 

"Oh so THIS is Aunt Sarah!"

Hi there : )

Lots of kisses and snuggles!

Sarah tries to keep Max all to herself.. 
except once when Sarah went to the bathroom 
and Nana got to steal a hug!

Beautiful Weather= Happiness

We are so lucky to be home with Max during this gorgeous weather!!  Sunshine, open windows and the best baby in the world make for an awesome life. Sorry to brag ; )

Max's First Walk!!

Hi Folks. I'm so excited to be doing physical activity : )

Ready to roll.. 

He was so excited that he promptly fell asleep

My Mommy came along for the walk too.. aww 


Loving the visitors!

Wow we are so lucky to be home with Max during this gorgeous weather! We had more visitors this week, and still more to come next week : ) Max feels very loved! Sadly I don't have a picture of my dear friends Katie and Teresa visiting Max.. I was so excited to see them that I forgot both times to take a picture.. sadness.

Aunt Suzy and Uncle Tom came by to meet Max..
he was happy to fall asleep on both of them!

Max's First Bath and other Cuteness!

 We've been having way too much fun with Max! We were so excited to give him his first bath and we weren't sure how he'd react. He loved it : ) This fish washcloth is a great idea (thanks to my cousin Susan!) and kept him nice and warm. PS- Freshly bathed baby is the best smell ever!

"I don't quite know what is happening but I like it"

Love my Winnie the Pooh towel

"Thanks for keeping me warm Daddy!"

I know.. its too much! : )

Hi my name is Maxwell

Uh oh.. who ate part of my cookie?

Max had a lot to say to Garon this day

Bertram came the farthest to meet Max.. all the way from SC! ; )

Tired Max




Max- Week 2 brings more visitors!

The first week with Max flew by and it feels like we've known him for way longer! What did we do before we had him? I think we slept a lot haha.. hard to remember what that is like : )

Max continues to be an amazing and happy baby.. he never cries unless there is a reason like he wants his diaper changed, is hungry, or he has gas.. poor guy! He is a great sleeper, even at night, so I really cant complain. We get stretches of several hours of sleep at a time most nights. When he is awake, he is very alert and loves to look at our faces and listen to us talk to him. He still likes to fall asleep on us and sleep a lot of the day away but he is having more and more awake time which we love.

Max had his 2nd week doctor appointment yesterday and he is back up to his birth weight, and then some! He is up to 10 lbs 5.5 oz.. so he's a growing boy. He got a perfect bill of health from the doctor : )

Here are some pictures from Max's 2nd week of life and all of the family and friends he got to see this week.. enjoy  :)
