Another successful night of sleep last night. My new mantra is swaddle, swaddle, swaddle! Another favorite saying is “sleep begets sleep.” The better and longer Maxwell sleeps during the day, the better and longer he sleeps at night. I’ve learned that he can have about one hour of “wakefulness” and then he needs to go back to sleep. I know these periods of staying awake will get longer and longer the older he gets, but, as of now, an hour is about the max for Max! 🙂 If I can get him to sleep for some good naps during the day, we have much better nights!
On to other topics! Last week Maxwell got to meet some more of his family on Robert’s side. Lou Lou’s cousin, Nancy Ellis and her husband Charlie came over from Huntsville for a quick visit along with their daughter Melissa and her two boys, Nate and Yohannes. We’re so glad they were able to stop by!
Meeting Nancy Ellis…
Hannie just being cute…
and Nate just being cute…with a tight grip on Charlie’s finger!
It was a great day. Maxwell got lots of attention…
and loved getting to meet his “cousins”! Nate wasn’t quite so sure about this baby thing…
but Hannie couldn’t get enough of Maxwell!
Robert and Hannie had a good talk about how Santa gets down that chimney…
and cheese balls were enjoyed by (almost) all!
A good day all around!
So glad Maxwell met his “cousins” – Melissa’s two boys are adorable! Love that Nancy Ellis and Charlie were finally able to see our little cutie! Maxwell looks so comfortable in Lou Lou’s arms! Looks like a fun time.
All three boys are just soooo cute!
What a great visit. I haven’t seen Nate since he was Maxwell’s size. Time flies indeed.
