Dancing and Dipping

Today was another active day with Maximilian.  When we got there, he was sleeping quite peacefully and seemed oblivious to the world around him. He wasn't fussing at all and he was breathing steadily and requiring 24% oxygen to be that comfy. Which was funny because Max needed a change in the worst way, and that usually causes him to fuss about like a raging rageaholic in the midst of a rage. He awoke while we fussed with him and was nice and interactive with us until Brienne got to hold him. He definitely still hates those nasal prongs.  The issue with those is that he can't move his head much, lest they come out of his nostrils and force him to work a lot harder for air. Because of this, holding him is not his favourite part of the day as it requires a lot of work to get the perfectly correct body positioning for both him and the person holding him.  He had a hard time staying comfortable, so he would dance about and start dipping here and there. Overall though, he had more stable time than dancing time, so it was a mostly good time. Brienne held him for well over an hour before he went back into his crib and fell asleep on his tummy.  He definitely had a good, mostly boring day.
