Max always has the best facial expressions. Now we see many more smiles, but in the beginning, he was full of very serious looks.

The Thinker

Max, 7 days old

I’ve been trying to figure out what serious thoughts such a small peanut could think up. World domination? The Riemann Hypothesis? Unified field theory? The next meal?

Max, 7/23/2011, at 4 months 3 weeks

It’s getting difficult to get a picture of him with my Blackberry – he sees me aiming it at him, the smiles disappear and he gets the “grumple” look. However, sometimes I am a sneaky ninja, and can catch him with a grin.

Max at 4 weeks of age. It was bathday for my little guy, and I decided since I was going to remove his oxygen and tender grips to replace them, I would get a couple of pictures of him before the cannula went back on. I’m glad to report he tolerate everything very well.

Max, 10 days old, sleeping in his isolette. I was always amazed how he just swam in the newborn size diapers. We eventually brought in some preemie-sized Huggies (they were still a bit too big initially!)

Max, 3 days old, under the bili lights. Max just had his 4 month Well Child Check yesterday, and he now weighs 11 pounds, 7 ounces. He’s much more beefier than his initial 3 pounds, 8 ounces at birth!
