The Little One

For a little over a year now our pride and joy has been known as Maddox. This little bundle of sunshine takes up most of our time and attention; we're sleep deprived but very happy.

Maddox managed to enter the world on the exact date we wanted. Of course, mother and child had to stay in hospital a few days longer, but it wasn't long until our young family was together at home.

Maddox gazed wide-eyed at his new four walls. We knew well in advance that we were having a boy. We think his first impressions of the place were pretty positive – in any case, it was all so stressful that he was soon fast asleep on the couch and everywhere else around the house. We sat down beside him and took a deep breath – the first stage was over.
