We arrived to a very cute Max underneath a whole lot of blankets. Originally, they were not covering him up as fully as they were when we got there. Maximilian is very squirmy, though, and managed to build himself a little blanket fort in which he slept like a drowsy little prince. He was still without any breathing assistance and officially made it past the 24 hour mark. The actual amount of time is unknown, however. His breathing tubes spent a lot of time out of his nose, and - even when they were in - were not necessarily offering him much support; as it turns out, they were clogged and weren't actually letting air through anyhow. So, he's been doing really well.
Vóvó got to hold him today and he did really well with her. He didn't open his eyes much, as he seemed a bit tired this time around. He did, however, go through all the facial vocabulary he had. He made every type of face he could and Vóvó enjoyed them immensely. They had a lovely time and she held him until he needed changing. There will be many more chances for holding him again in the future, so it was nice that today was such a nice start to it for the two of them.
There is not much else to report. Max is still bottling once a shift and generally does well with it. He had a few dips earlier, but nothing much to worry about. As he gets stronger, bigger and more used to the idea, we expect him to down his milk like the best of them.
