There's going to be so much change coming into this little boy's life very soon. We're preparing as much as we can but as much as we wish we could plan it all out, I think we'll just have to take each day at a time. As we approach BB's birthday, Maximilien continues to grow and change everyday. He's such a chatter box. Speaking up phrases in French and English. Mixing the two languages to the delight of both of his parents.
This morning we went and got Max his haircut at the salon across the street from the tea house. This is Stephane, my coiffieur extraordinaire, cutting my big boy's hair. It's funny how after each haircut Max seems so grown up yet I still see my little baby in his face. I know that when BB arrives there will be a moment when it hits me that Max really is a big boy. But I still have a few weeks to hang on to these special moments together. Just us. Me and my first born baby.
You will still have "special" together moments with Max..and you will look at him and still see his little baby face..and he will always be your first born. YOu will have a special relationship with your new baby too, but I think it is different.

Aimee that is a wonderful picture - he will treasure this when he is older. I hope that you enjoy these last couple of weeks together, but you are sure to have more special moments to come. Yay!

He will adjust just as you did . . .four times. You know how special siblings are and he will too.

You'll be amazed at how big Max looks once you have a newborn. For me, it's Jake's head. I look at it when he is next to Sophia and think, "oh my gosh, that kids head is HUGE!" But, it's of average size...and he will always be my baby. It's amazing how much love he has for her. Not jealous at all. He loves his sister so much, and so will Max!
