Max's Day

Today we took Max to the pediatrician for his check-up.  He is doing great!  21 1/2 inches long and 8 lb. 1 oz. We went over a few things with the ped and she was great, taking time to explain things to us.  She said Max can have a 4 - 5 hour sleeping stretch at night.  Maybe Mommy can get more rest! Great visit! 

Max was a little fussy the rest of the day but maybe he was just tired. He is nursing great and is changing his style.  Each day is different.  His eyes are bright and more alert.  Monkey, giraffe, and elephant vinyl letters on his wall beside his changing table keep he entertained during diaper changes...............which are often.

Kathy Nelson sent Max a huge box of cookies from Cheryl's that we have been enjoying.........sorry Max but they are keeping up awake and happy so we can take care of you!  Yea, Kathy!

And The Family Comes To Visit

Max had his first visitors today after coming home from the hospital.  Papa, Jane, Uncle George, Aunt Adair, Samantha, & Cal.  He enjoyed being held by everyone and slept through most of the visit. Max seemed very content today and nursed well. After enjoying his sponge bath, he snuggled with Daddy while Mommy got some much needed rest.
