Tuesday

Yesterday Max and I went to the grocery store. By ourselves. We have only ventured out by ourselves once before, and it's quite scary. I never know if I'm going to have to pull over and nurse or if Max is going to decide he'd rather scream than sleep.

But yesterday, he did great. He slept while I shopped, and was a perfect angel... until we got home. As soon as we got home, he decided it was time to eat and the groceries didn't get put away for another two hours. Oh, the joys of new motherhood! Still, I got some fun pictures... while I put away the groceries, Max sat in his boppy pillow on the stove and watched. This little boy is so precious!

Max

Our sweet baby boy was born at home on a stormy night on January 11th. He weighed 7 lbs, 10 oz and was 20.5 inches long. To us, he was perfect.

As soon as the midwife laid little Max on my chest, he clasped his hands and stared up at me. He didn't cry, but held his own little hands, looked around curiously, and then promptly fell asleep. He and I had had a rough night, and we were exhausted.

Now our little boy is eight days old and changing so fast. He is such a good boy and we can't seem to get enough hugs and kisses. We feel so blessed that we get to be parents to such a special little person.

He loves to sunbathe, but getting burped, not so much...

Welcome to the world sweet little boy! We couldn't love you more!
