Well Max, you're 8 days old today, and things change so rapidly. You reveal yourself more everyday. We've learned these things about you:

You do not like to be swaddled because you want to move your arms and suck on your fingers.
You are more awake at night than during the day.
You love to be held close, so you like your sling but don't like the cradle.
You are interested, aware, and interactive already.
You are a kicky baby, and a wiggleworm. You will not be contained.
You like us and feel better when you are near us.


We've also learned these things about ourselves:

Those loads that weighed so heavy were so easily let go.

We're totally in love. This mortal coil never seemed so beautiful.
