YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY!!!

Happy Birthday Mr. Maxwell!!!

All day today I could not stop just staring at you with complete adoration and amazement...you are absolutely incredible. Every day I fall more and more in love with you and am overwhelmed with the intensity of my feelings!

Sweet Max, you have endured so much in your first eight months and have come out swingin'!!! You are a fighter and have definitely earned your nickname, "MIGHTY MAX"!!!

Tomorrow (the 22nd) you will be EIGHT months old...wow! To remind everyone how far you have come, I thought we'd share with your fan club photo highlights from your very first month. What an overwhelming and difficult beginning...it was such an intense, frightening, unknown time. In just your first few weeks, you endured many life saving medical interventions, a hospital transfer, an intense surgery on your nose, and had been diagnosed with some very serious medical conditions. You were having such a hard time keeping weight on your lil' fragile body, each of your organs took their turn to temporarily shut down, and notice your skin color? Yep, you went through about every color...from brown to gray to yellow...but nothing even close to healthy baby pink.
What a month Maxwell! As they say, "You've come a long way baby!" HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! :) YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!

Happy 8 months!
It's amazing how fast they grow. I know for me I couldn't believe that Serene would ever be a big baby when she was born at 3 pounds.
Max is a such a love.
