Shurik and Max

Shurik and Max

My brother’s 20th birthday coincided today with Maxim’s two weeks birthday anniversary. This was the perfect time to photograph both of them together. It is also the first time Alex is holding Maxim, as well as it is the first time they appear on the photograph together. Happy birthday to both of you guys.

Family photo session

Thinking Maxik

Today I did yet another photo session with my family (Maxim, Olga, and my mother). I noticed that facial expressions of a infant do change extremely often. Actually, I had to switch my camera on to a continuos shoot mode to get few of the captures. What is even more interesting is that facial expressions of adults who play with an infant change at approximately the same rate. During 15 minutes I have made more than 60 images. Out of all these I have selected and postprocessed about 20.

Check with pediatrician

We’ve taken Maxim for his second check with pediatrician. According to the measurements, he has gained almost 200 grams and grown 3 centimeters during the last 7 days. I am surprised!
Also, the skin which is coming off is totally normal. This is the first skin, that should get off and be changed from the one used to water to the one used to air.

Dr.Simos suggested that we take Maxim for a walk every day. Walks should start with 10 minutes and gradually be increased to a maximum of two hours per day.
