Playing at 3 months.

Max can now spend hours playing and laughing at himself in a mirror. He flails his arms and legs with great force and squeals with delight. It is definitely helping mom out that he doesn't need to be carried around all of the time!

Axel and Max.

The beginning.

April 23th, 2007, I went to work per usual. Out to lunch with friends, didn't feel very well on the walk back to the office, hmmm. Funny, I didn't think anything of the fact that I had to stop every couple blocks because of a sharp pain in my stomach. (We still had 2 weeks until our due date)

April 24th, 2007 around 12:30 am, Mark's Birthday, we left for Sibley Hospital.

Maximus Berk Stacey arrives @ 11:55 am. Weighing in at 7lbs 6oz, 19.5" long.
