Maximillian passes his first doctor exam at 2 days old. He played it cool and just gave the doctor a little wink when she checked his big-man-parts instead of peeing on her.
Max's birth info on the little card on his bassinette.
Maximillian gives the "Give me boob" sign.
We checked in to the delivery ward 2am Wednesday, and we were back home 5pm Saturday. The care was nothing short of outstanding.
If you've still got your local newspaper from Wednesday, please save it. We'll collect them next time we see you (or send it to us, together with a pallet of diapers).
