Max's first social smile and a bit of an update

Max smiled today. Real social smile too, not just a grin when he's dozing off.

I was poking my tongue out at him for about 20 seconds, and he smiled at me LOL. I did it again and he smiled again! He then smiled after peeing on my mother. :P LOL Cheeky little guy.

He's gaining weight pretty well, although I am exhausted from the round the clock feeding and pumping. Sometimes I wonder how on earth I lasted so long last time with Kaitlyn and didn't give up on breastfeeding. I had been so tempted to give up numerous tgimes already this time... I will try to stick it out for 6 weeks, hopefully it will get easier.

Max has been a very good baby so far, as long as he gets enough to eat, he's a very easy going and happy baby and can settle himself to sleep quite well. I feel very blessed. Sometimes I am tempted to hold him till he falls completely asleep but then I had to resist because I don't want to repeat all the mistakes I made with Kaitlyn and cause sleeping/settling issues for Max.

I still haven't had the chance to write his birth story yet as I am still sore and very tired. I will try to do that soon.

Max finally has a Chinese middle name, Yiyang, meaning vast ocean. Now we can finally register his birth.
