9-13 days old

Max is now 2 weeks old and the photos below are of him over the past few days to show a bit more of his day to day 'activities'! Our 2 cats, Ninja and Damson, utterly adore little Max and take great pride in being his guardians, always checking to make sure he's ok while he's sleeping in his moses basket and Ninja even came and laid beside him during a feed the other day! Maximus now really enjoys his baths and most of the time is also happy to be massaged afterwards which is doing wonders for his dry skin. We are expecting Grandpa, Scott and Lauren shortly and will take some more piccies of them with Max then.

Maximus: Between 5 and 8 days old

Below are a few very cute pictures of our darling boy over the past few days. We particularly like the one of Callum with Max lying side by side, just in case anyone was wondering if he looked like his Daddy! We also have featured a rare moment of Max actually awake!

Meet & greet: Part 3!

On Thursday Callum, Amy & Max went to visit the Godfreys in Southam. It was very lovely to see them all cuddling with him - here are a few photos of a very proud Granddad, Nanny, Uncle Scott and Aunty Sam, not to mention a rather curious Cousin Dastan who gave Maximus a lovely kiss - aww!

Meet & greet: Part 2!

All of Amy's siblings have now met and cuddled little Max. Featured here is Uncle Peej, Aunty Mel, Aunty Sally, Uncle Stees and Cousin Katie. Aunty Cara and Cousin Hannah and Cousin Lucy.

Friends & family meet and greet Max

Hello again all,

Here are a few photos of Callum and some of Max's many visitors since his birth on Saturday. We will post some more up once we've received the photos from Granddad.

Baby Max is born!

Greetings all!

Welcome to the first blog featuring pictures of our new baby Maximus Alexander!

Max was born at 2:56pm on November 15th at Frimley Park Hospital weighing in at 7lbs 9oz.

Amy went into labour around 2am on Saturday morning and gave birth naturally needing no intervention or drugs (thank God!).

Max is completely gorgeous as you will see, and is all healthy and perfect. Amy is also healing up incredibly well and is also healthy, if a little achy and tired. Callum was perfect during the labour and has been wonderful since and he is also doing very well!

Thank you to all of you who were praying for us and wishing us well; it made a huge difference and we're very grateful. Thanks to those of you who have been up to see us already and have sent us cards! Thanks also to the lovely people who have given us gifts!

Look forward to seeing everyone over the next few weeks/days/hours!

Lots of love from Amy & Callum & Maximus xx
