Sibling comparison

Not necessarily the best side-by-side comparison, but each kid is about 1 week old in these photos.

Just Max

1 day old - in the hospital.
Grandma Oshel taking him on his first nature lesson. "This is a cherry tree."

Kate always insists on bringing me my bear. Mom tries to convince her to at least not leave it on my head. I stayed content here, for oh, about 3 minutes.

Daddy and Max

In reverse chronological order, since I forgot to upload my pictures in reverse. (One of the downsides of blogger.)

Max and grandparents

All from the hospital, when Max was just hours old.

Kate and Max

Kate really likes being a Big Sister. She often says, "I like my little brother" and "He likes me!" When she first met him at the hospital, after she had her turn to hold him, she kept asking whomever was holding him next, "Can I hold him?"
