An Interactive Max.

Today's visit lacked the beloved cuddle time.  Max was doing ok, but he had had a few episodes throughout the day that required his Oxygen settings to be higher than earlier and he was crashing and beeping and booping more than usual.  They decreased his feeds by 4ml per feed though, and this seemed to calm him down. The idea here was that he was getting too full and was just having a hard time adjusting to it quickly enough.  Mum and Dad still hung out with him though and we had a good time just talking and being around the little chub-monkey. He did really well for us and opened his eyes for Vóvó at Dad's urging. Apparently, Max recognizes his parents' voices and always looks around for them when he's not too tired to open his eyes. It was nice to see him become so much more interactive than he used to be. Other than that whole "breathing" thing, he's acting more and more like a normal newborn. As always, we're very proud and smitten by the little butterball. Also, he's chubby.  His cheeks are like little built in pillows that smoosh a lot when he's laying on his side. It's adorable.
