3 months old

max turned three months old Friday! He has been through so much in such a short time. we are happy to say that RSV season is over and we can now talk to, look at and associate with people again! hooray! max spent his first month in the hospital fighting for his life and won the battle. his second month was spent on oxygen and his third month was spent under house arrest. he is now ready to meet the world. He is smiling and cooing all the time now. He is a mamma's boy which I love. He has a sweet calm personality. We love having him around!! here is a look back at these past three months.

here is max. His first few weeks were really scary. I tried to start his scrapbook but after a few nights of ending in tears I decided it is still a little fresh for me. It was difficult to watch your little one under such duress. He is such a fighter.

here is max in the second month. He looked so cute with his little cannula, but we sure were happy when the doctor said it was time to be free of it. I almost didn't recognize his little face without it. It was like a crutch and a safety net though, it was scary to get rid of it, baby steps.



here is mr smiley at three months old. His whole face lights up when he smiles. the kids now maul him. reed and i fought over who gets him at church, how long will that last. we are so blessed to have him in our family. we love you max!!!!

What a little miracle! I love his smiles. We're really looking forward to meeting him! Give him hugs and kisses from us (all
germ-free of corse)
