Maxwell Edward joined our family on January 27th at 11:08am! He weighed in at 8lbs, 5oz and 20.5" tall, we are so happy that he is here and this last month went by so so fast! I can hardly believe this was one month ago already!
So far Ella seems to love being a big sister, which was such a worry for me before he was born. She loves to give him kisses and to bring him her toys and "share" things with him. Although I'm very glad she is so helpful... to her sharing sometimes means dropping things on him, so we are working on that! However, the transition has been easier than I feared. She has thankfully continued to sleep through the night even when we are up with Max in the next room.

He takes a 5 oz bottle every 4 hours - like clockwork. This means he is still getting up twice during the night, or just once if you like getting up for the day at 6 am ;) Most nights he goes right back to sleep after the 2 am feeding, but sometimes he likes to be difficult and takes his time... hopefully we will get past this stage before too long!
2 under 2 is not always easy... but I sure hope they grow up to be good buddies. We feel pretty lucky to be their Mommy and Daddy :)
For a comparison... Ella's 1 month post can be found here.
I've been eagerly waiting for a post! I can't wait to meet Max!
