Max is MUCH easier to hold!!

I got to spend time snuggling and patting and drinking in the wonderfulness of Max.  He is SO MUCH easier to hold now that he is no longer on the ventilator.

Notice all the different positions we can hold him in now......very nice and very fun.  We are getting to know what kind of pats and rubs he likes when he is "not so happy".  We know very quickly when he is unhappy now because his cry has real sound to it!!

Max likes his pacifier but has a tongue thrust that pushes it right out......Alissa is teaching Max to hold it in by himself.....but sometimes she just helps him out!

Here is Max's little home.....It certainly takse a lot of equipment to monitor and keep a tiny baby safe and growing.           On the right is Max receiving his inhaler treatments.......breathe Max breathe!!

FINALLY!!  Everyone leaves me alone and I can just sleep in peace!!!
