Max is still insanely attached to his mom now, and tries to be at her side at all times. He cuddles with her constantly, and Kitchen is trying to soak up every moment of it until the baby is born in June.

"He rubs on my legs now, he screams for me if he doesn't know where I went," Kitchen said. "I have to yell, ‘Mommy's downstairs, Max,' and then he chirps and runs down the stairs for me. He has been Velcro ever since. Now at nighttime I have to make a space for him on the bed near me, he doesn't bother with my husband anymore."

Kitchen knows Max could go back to being aloof at any moment — or maybe he's just waiting until the baby is born, and will then transfer all of his love and attention to his new baby sibling.
