Happy Birthday Maximilian…

…this, your very first year in my life has brought me more joy than I could have ever expected…watching you grow, holding your not so little hands, wiping away those very real tears and tickling your tiny little toes; watching every facet of your wonderful charter develop...your laugh, those looks, with those eyes…you are truly an amazingly beautiful baby boy! Each day I can’t wait to wake up and put you on my lap, in my arms, holding you close so that I can kiss those cheeks…I certainly hope that we can always spend time like this, on my lap or on the floor…please know that I never want this to end; you will always be my baby boy and I hope that you will forever keep me as your Papa. Happy First Birthday Max…

Yesterday was Max's 2-month well-Baby check-up. He weighs 9 lbs 14 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long, which is 4500 g and almost 55 cm. He survived his shots and is mostly recovered unlike mommy:)) Otherwise he's a healthy baby with a healthy apetite.
Mommy has to take more pictures, so we can post them soon...

Thursday, August 14, 2008

It's (un)official...

Max weighs 10 lbs!!! That would be 4500 grams. Not too bad.

So, here are some pictures for all of you who have been patiently waiting:

Max likes to go for walks.

And then he sleeps.

And then he likes to play some.

Then he sleeps some more...
..So that he can go on more walks. All that makes him very tired.

Max is here...he's really here!



WOW! What a great Father's Day week...little Maximilian Atlee Beck decided to surprise all of us this past Wednesday, 18 June 2008 at 2:20 pm. Connie's water broke at 12:30 am and by 2:30 am we were at the hospital and the journey had started. After 11 hours and 39 minutes of active labor (according to the discharge summary) little Maxi arrived...weighing in at 5 lbs 9 oz. and 18 1/4 inches long...he simply takes my breath away - I mean look at him! I am so proud of Corinna...she is a wonderful Mommy and made the whole process way too easy...from conception to birth, she amazed me every step of the way. You are living your destiny Sweetheart...you are Max's Mom and I love you both with my entire heart. Sorry folks...this turned out to be more for them than you...but please enjoy the pictures of our little guy!

Dear Max...

Max...
This is your Daddy...Mom has been riding me the last couple of weeks to take a minute to chime in and let the world know how much I love you by leaving a quick little message...hey Buddy...I think of you all the time and absolutely can not wait until you get here! (This message is taking me quite a while to write because your Mother is grammar/spell checking me...yeah, she's pretty smart...but you already know that!) Any way...we have some things that we need to post this evening...I love you Max! I'll talk to you more tonight when we listen to your music...bye for now...love you, Dad

New pictures of Max

We went to have another ultrasound done yesterday and below are ALL the picture we got. Most of them in 3D. He's just so cute.
The reason we went was because last week, they had found a very small cyst in his brain, which doesn't indicate anything unless anything else is wrong as well. So, they just wanted to double-check and a high risk OK took a look and everything else measures perfectly, so he is good to go. The cyst is already dissolving.

OK, enjoy the pictures:

Baby Registries Added

We have added the links to the registries we've created. They are still a work in progress, but we managed to add a few things already. We think the baby shower will be some time in May. The Giggle registry asked us for a date, so we just picked one Saturday in May, but that is not the set date, so don’t worry.
The links are in the upper left hand corner.
