Max - 4 weeks/one month


I couldn't decide this week whether to post for Max being 4 weeks or one month old, so I did it in the middle of the milestone days. I took him for his checkup yesterday and he is 10 lb 11 oz and 22 inches long! Since he was born he's gained more than 3 lbs and grown more than 2 inches! He's such a big boy, and so good. He rarely cries, has started sleeping between feedings all night (instead of being awake for hours during the night instead of during the day!), and takes pumped bottles easily. We are so happy to have Max as a part of our family.

The kids each had a chance to help feed him for the first time Sunday. The kids are loving their new baby brother, and are so helpful with him. Isaiah is teaching Max to count (if you see him, ask him about it!) and loves that he holds his finger, and Katie can rarely be heard not saying "I just love Baby Max!" and constantly kisses his hair (our compromise since Katie has been sick most of his life).

Oh Rachel, he's precious. Max is very lucky to have such great older siblings.

Adorable pictures of adorable kids! You captured some great photos of your baby. Max is going to be one well-loved and spoiled little boy! I can't believe it's been a month already.

He's a good looking guy. Looks like Isaiah and Katie will be great siblings.
