We welcomed little Maxwell James Butterfield into this world on October 31. He is our little Halloween baby. He was 8 lbs 7.2 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. He is such a sweet baby boy and we are so excited to have him as part of our family. It was fun to find out after 9 months if our baby was a boy or girl. Zeke had told us from the beginning that we were having a boy baby on Halloween! He was exactly right, he had said multiple times that if it was a girl he would be mad because he wanted a boy baby!
He was bigger then both my other babies who were only 7 lbs, and he has pretty blonde hair, my other two kids had black hair when they were born and a lot of it. Maxwell aslo passed his hearing test which is always such good news to hear!
Our family of 5! I still can't believe I have 3 kids already!

| I love how Zeke is just staring at little Maxwell, he sure is a proud big brother. |

| Kristiina sure loves him too! She wakes up asking where the baby is. |
Maxwell was pretty jaundice so he had to be on the Bilirubin lights from Friday to Wednesday at home. It was kind of a pain because he always had to be naked and we couldn't swaddle him. He is such a snuggly baby that it was pretty hard and he had a hard time sleeping.
Maxwell is such a calm, sweet baby. He hardly cries and loves to be held and snuggled. He is an awesome eater too, which is so nice and makes it easier on me.
