Maximus Miles Hunter was born on July 17, 2007 at West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park, IL. At birth, he weighed 6 lbs. 2 oz. and was 19.5 inches long. Considering that he was born 5.5 weeks early, we thought that was pretty good!!
Miles spent his first four days in the hospital, where they tested and cared for him to make sure he had a clean bill of health. Pictured here is Miles under the UV rays, trying to rid himself of jaundice and an air bubble, as well as get a tan! (Sorry buddy - your parents don't exactly have olive skin. It's SPF 50 for you!)
Once they gave us the all-clear, Brian and I packed up our little guy to bring him home in style! (Okay, so we might have been a bit over-protective, considering that he was born in July. Just remember that he had been living in an incubator and tanning bed until this point in his life. Our little fella couldn't handle the cool breeze! :) . . . okay, and who designs these car seats anyway? They certainly weren't the parents of a premie!
Once we got him home, he was welcomed by Granner and Dee (Kendra's Mom and Dad), as well as his favorite feline, Hanuman. So far, Hanuman and Miles are good buddies. We fear this may change, however, when Miles becomes mobile!
Needless to say, we were so glad to bring our little man home! Doesn't he look like his dad?
