Brienne likes to cry.

Brienne was crying for many parts of our visit with Max tonight. First of all, we only got into see him quite late at night as we were out of town with the extended Borger clan and got in quite late in the evening.  So, she cried at seeing him because she missed him. Daddy may have cried too, but there is no documented proof of that. Then, as he was being weighed, they took all the apparatus off of his face. This meant that, out of his entire 2 months (to the day) of life, this was the first time either one of us had seen his beautiful, chubby cheeked, big eyed face. It was quite a beautiful sight and there was nary a dry eye among his parents. Then, the rest of the time was spent hanging out with his very animated, grabby, staring awesomeness. This was one of those days where he had a lot of energy and seemed to want us around holding his little hand and patting his little bum. We were super happy to oblige.  He was breathing like a world-class breather and his episodes were really short and he bounced back rather quickly, even from his crankiest "I'm going to hold my breath until I calm down" moments. Also, he had been on his best behaviour since just before noon when they gave him his 2 month vaccine shots. We have to say that tonight was a great night to visit him as he was so very interactive and had nothing but great news to give us.

So, his weight is at 1692g (3lbs~12oz) and his length is at 39cm (15.4in). He's growing beautifully and we have to say that he's just a gorgeous little boy.
