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!
Love the post – I was wondering where the fabulous name came from! And just out of curiosity, if you were home alone yesterday, who took that last picture?!
Love the name – love the picture with Maxwell with Robert and Daddy! So glad the sling is working out because we did spoil the little guy by holding him all last week – just too cute to put down!!!!
love the post! And once again, Stephie, you look awesome like you never had a baby! I hope that is a family trait 😉
Max, Cara and I are enjoying looking at Maxwell and all of his kin folks on our big screen TV right now. Max (Granddaddy/GreatGranddaddy) said he is proud he has part of his name on Maxwell along with Steve. I love the picture of Max and Delaney, too. Max said to mail him an announcment and pictures when you get time.
So glad you guys are checking it out!! I will OF COURSE mail you all an announcement. He’s actually having some pictures made tomorrow so I will be sure to send Granddaddy a good one! My love to all of you!!
It’s a very distinguished sounding name!
Thanks for the pep talk today, you are the best! I loved hearing the name history, and you are quite a witty blogger! This could be a new career for you… Love you lots!
