Grandparents are great!

Hi everyone. I've been leaving the blogging up to Cam lately since he isn't quite so tied up with Max's needs, but wanted to say hi and thanks for all of the well wishes and congratulations. Being a mum is challenging but so rewarding - even in the middle of the night Max just looks so adorable when he feeds and snuggles in that it really makes the interrupted sleep worthwhile.

Max is very lucky to have two sets of adoring grandparents as well. On our first night at home my parents stayed with us and very thoughtfully stayed up most of the night with Max while he was unsettled and let Cam and I catch up on some much needed sleep, just waking me up when he was hungry.

My mum discovered that he was a bit cold, and was snuggled up with him on the couch when I came out in the morning. Both my mum and dad were a bit smitten with Max and spoiled him with lots of cuddles and presents. Mum even sewed up some new curtains for Max's room, which look great and fit with our jungle animals theme that he has going.

On Monday Cam's parents came to visit and also gave Max lots of presents and cuddles, and settled him while I took advantage of this wonderful opportunity and grabbed another nap and Cam did some shopping.
It was a relief for us to know that he was in the best of care while we caught up on these important but neglected activities. They agree that Max looks a lot like his Pop, especially around the mouth, and Max's appearance also highlights the similarities between Cam and his dad.

We had to take a photo of all of the Batkin men together so you can see what I mean. Do you see the similarities?
