After much thought and consideration, Robert and I decided to name our baby boy Maxwell Banks Brown, as you know.  Maxwell is both my grandfather’s name as well as my father’s middle name.  I’ve always loved it and was so glad that Robert liked it too.  It means so much to me to that this baby has a piece of my dad in his name.  We considered several other names but none of them seemed right.  He’s definitely a Maxwell!

Banks is Robert’s middle name as well as his Great Grandmother’s maiden name.  We love having a part of his family in the baby’s name as well.  I remember how much I loved Robert’s full name (Robert Banks Brown) when I first met him.  I’ve always thought it is such a classic, great name and I’m glad that we have a similar name for our son.

Here is Maxwell Banks with Stephen Maxwell and Robert Banks.  Such a good looking bunch!

Can’t wait for Maxwell to meet his Great Granddaddy, Max!  Here’s a picture of him with Maxwell’s cousin, Delaney, a few month ago.

And here’s another cute one from last week with Dad.

Also, yesterday was my first day home alone with the baby and look what I figured out how to use!

Look Ma!  No hands!

In case you were wondering, Robert did come home for lunch and took the picture.  I’m not talented enough to be photog and subject  by myself without a mirror!
