This page needs a little attention, proud dad Max! Please have one of your helpers post a few more for us! Thanks!

Do we have to...

It's a baby. It looks like a baby. It looks like Kendall. Surely that's enough?

Guest, you don't have to look. And anyway, here's Kendall. To paraphrase the song,

I've never seen a baby's head
With a mustache on before!


More photos, please!

It took a couple of tries to see the movie all the way through (timed out the first time). At the very end Max is holding a quiet and very neatly swaddled Lili Ani. A good trick, swaddling!

And, boy, she was MAD, wasn't she? Getting born is hard work and then they do all this stuff to you! I got all teary eyed watching it. What I want to know is, was Max behind the camera all that time instead of helping poor Emily????

It has been quite a few years since mine were small and nursing, but I could practically feel the let down when she cried. Her mother's voice was always very calm--best advice I ever had from a total stranger was when my oldest was three days old and in for her first doctor's checkup. A woman passing by admired her, then commented "A calm mother has a calm child." So Lili Ani is already on her way to a mellow childhood!

From: Max

All what time? Notice the giant lapses in time in the video. I was simply filming when she didn't need me. Besides, there is some MammaCam action near the end where Emily is filming me.

Some more pictures should be online soon. If anyone is bothered by them as a part of Mudcat, please just ignore them, I send friends and family there too. Pene is kind enough to use his system to help me with this, so it works out real nice and the turnaround time is pretty quick. When I get the time, I'll move most of them to another site.

And thanks everyone for the kind words and thoughts, we're having a ball here.

If any one is bothered?! Too bad if they are! Thank you, Max, the video is great! Emily was so calm, esp. for a first timer and you did a great job. LilyAni is going to love seeing all of the telemetry of her last night in the salty, wet darkness and then all of those indignities after! She is a doll and boy, she's got a good set of lungs...she'll do real well singing 'dem blues like her proud paw-pa! Would love to see a picture of Emily holding her, too, when you get time.

Sorcha, made me all teary-eyed, too....remembering when...LilyAni looked so little in Max's arms until I remembered my last one only weighed half that when I brought her home! We had to buy doll clothes for her!:-)

Love to you all, Max, Emily, Alexis and LilyAni,

kat & Rog

Max, since Emily is a first-timer at this, you might want to get her a copy of this book. It's simply the best source of information out there (in concert with your local La Leche League folks). Goes into a lot more than just nursing. Glad to see everything is going so well!

Max, my vote is those photos stay right here. Now the video did have the effect of sending me down memory lane, and even a brief moment of "wouldn't it be nice to have a baby around"... then the background noise of the horde kicked in... I like this vicarious living style. Just keep on having fun ...

Yeah--family beds, infant sleep habits, lots of good stuff in there. Mostly, it gives families permission do try things and to do what works for them. Nursing is the thing I miss most when I think back to my childrens' baby-hood. (And who would ever think of that cabbage leaf trick for mastitis on their own?)

I think my favorite photo is the last in Part 20, where the young cousin is holding her and looking perfectly relaxed and satisfied at the camera. There's our hope for the future, gang-- that simplicity. God grant all our children grow up remembering what is really important-- better than we have.

Very nice. I like the cat in Part 16, he looks just like the main cat in my life. But what happened to the car Part 15?

And Rick, don't give up hope! My dad was the age you are now when I was born, so it's obviously the best age to father children at.

Thank you! Wonderful photos. I like the "Team Nap" shot best of this set. Those little ones wear you out!

And what is the story with the car wreck? That is a non sequitur in the story, but it must be there for a reason.

Where are the pictures of Mommie napping? Miss Lily looks safer to me with the hungry cat than the devilishly happy cousin. Maybe I'll let Alice have some more kittens...nope. Had that fixed.

Hey Rick! It is not too late!
