The Life of a Preemie in Pictures

Bonus Max – Superbaby!

Max, 8/16/2011, 5 months, 2 days old

Max loves being lifted in to the air like he is flying. We’ll just hold him up there and he giggles and laughs. What’s better is his bib will get spun around and look like a cape. Edna Mode from The Incredibles would disapprove…

 

From the Archives – Stressed Out

Max, 3/20/2011, 6 days old

In all of his ultrasound images, he has his hands on his head. This continued to be his thing until well past his EDC. We figured it was one of his comfort signs. Now, he only does this every now and again in his sleep.

Monday Max – Hey There…

Max, September 4th, 2011, 5 Months 3 weeks old.

He’s starting to master the “hey there, pretty lady” look. I have a feeling that I’ll be fielding a lot of “Is Max there?” phone calls several years form now…

Monday Max – Raspberry!!

Max, August 23rd, 2011

Max has not only become quite proficient at sticking out his tongue, but he can now blow raspberries. I’m doomed.

Bonus Max – Giggle Fit

Giggle Fit
Max, August 21st, 5 months 1 week old

Max has the best giggle. I’m trying to capture it on tape, but he seems to know when I am trying to record him. I may have to bug the house….

Monday Max – I have a feeling I’ll see this look many times in the future

Max, August 19th, 2011, 5 months 5 days old

Bonus Max – Nom nom nom!

Max, 8/10/2011, 21 weeks, 3 days

We’ve started playing with solid food. Needless to say, more of it ends up on him than in him!

 

Monday Max – Joyride

Max, 8/14/2011, 5 months

Max hit the 5 month mark yesterday. Looking at him now, it’s difficult to see that he was ever a preemie. But every now and then, with a glance or at an angle, I see a quick flash of who he used to be.

Monday Max – Good Morning Sunshine!

Max, August 3rd, 2011, 20 weeks 2 days

I get to see this first thing in the morning. It’s a great way to start a day!

Bonus picture! Happy Tummy Time!

Max, August 4th, 2011, 20 weeks 3 days

Max has finally decided that tummy time is fun and not a form of ancient baby torture.

As a side note, we’re out of town this month in a small, beautiful location with spotty internet access. There will be a new Monday Max tomorrow, and we’ll continue to update the archives as we can.
