6-27-07 Update

We just wanted to update everyone on how Max is doing. Today he had his 2 week check up and the doctor said he is doing great. He has gained 11ounces and 3/4 of an inch over his birth size in 2 weeks. He now weighs 7lbs 2ounces and is 20 1/4 inches long. The other BIG news of the day is that his cord fel off of his belly button this morning. Lee was changing his diaper early this morning and hadn't noticed that the cord was gone, but in the dim light he saw something in Max's diaper. As he bent down to see what was in his sons diaper he jumped and almost threw Max (not really) because he thought the cord in Max's diaper was a bug. Good thing dad didn't scream. Dont worry Max, he will protect you.

Julie is still doing well, and is getting stronger everyday. She isn't training for any marathons yet but she is doing awesome. She is a great mom with great instincts and much love.

Can't wait to see all of you soon.

Lee, Julie, Winton, and Max

Mister Big Shoes

This picture shows Max wearing his favorite shoes which fit him perfectly, on his way to his first doctors appointment. He has pretty big feet and hands, and his toes and fingers are very long.

Update 6-25-07

Hello all- Lee, Julie, Winton, and Max are all doing great. Max has passed his doctors appointments with flying colors. He is now eating like a champ and keeping mom busy with his viracious appetite. Dad helps where he can by changing diapers and being on burping duty. Max now loves to lay on his back in the family room and look around while his big brother Winton plays.

Max has pretty much initiated everyone by either peeing, pooping, or throwing up on them (in some cases, all three at the same time). We have been very thankful that Max is such a good baby. His sleep schedule has been pretty good. When we first came home from the hospital, he was awake more during the night and sleeping during the day. He has now figured out that he was on the wrong schedule and is now sleeping well at night.

We are most thankful for a healthy baby and the love of our family. Winton is a great big brother, and loves to talk to Max when Max starts to get fussy. The sound of his big brothers voice usually calms Max down. We are also very glad to have Julie's parents and Lee's parents helping out so much during this crazy busy time. We are getting less sleep (like everyone promised) but we wouldn't trade it for the world.

We wish all of you much love, health, and happiness, and we can not wait to see you soon.
