Maximilian is his own man.

Max had a pretty good day.  Mum got to hold him the first time around. They cuddled and interacted and had a great time. Not much has changed with him, so this lovely bit of interaction was the same as it has generally been lately. That is to say that it was full of cute faces, big eyes, an expressive mouth and a whole lot of fun.

Max's cuddle time with Dad was great as well.  Max really seems fixated on Dad's large eyebrows and he enjoys interacting with him just as much as with Mum. This time, Rafael also learned that Max is going to pretty much be in charge of everything.  Generally, when Max is sleepy, Rafael and Brienne can stroke the area above Max's eyebrows to put him to sleep. Today, however, this same relaxation technique was not something Max wanted. He simply did NOT want to sleep. Instead of the stroking being met with dozy eyes and a relaxed demeanor, it was met with a beautiful look of Max ready to cry.  He dictates his own schedule.  This is a lesson that was definitely driven home today.
