How about a shot of Maxima Chan Zuckerberg to set your head right this fine Tuesday morning? Our little Superhero in Training, who has already mastered the way of the Jedi, conquered water over the weekend. Max’s father, also known as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, posted the above photo of his little waterbug on Sunday. This is the latest in a string of new parent posts by DaddyZuck of his daughter with Dr. Priscilla Chan. Max blessed us with her presence in November and since then, she has been a regular fixture on her father’s page. Primarily, the posts are showing us how adorable Max is but a few sent larger messages, like the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and vaccinating. This particular post? Just a straight up brag post:
Mark Zuckerberg‘s streak of cute candids with his daughter continues!
The Facebook founder shared a photo Sunday (on Facebook, of course) of him and Maxima in the water together.
“Max’s first swim,” he captioned it. “She loves it!”
But fun in the indoor, heated pool time is done. DaddyZuck, who along with his wife, pledged 99% of their wealth to better the world for all children, needs to get back to the grind. Mark famously announced he was taking 2 months paternity leave to care for his daughter once she was born. Well, his paternity leave is over and yesterday saw the return of Mark to his Facebook offices. We can only hope he remembers how to make the big decisions:
It’s time to get back to work! Mark Zuckerberg came to the end of his two-month paternity leave on Monday, January 25, and celebrated the occasion with a funny Facebook photo.
“First day back after paternity leave. What should I wear?” Zuckerberg captioned the pic of identical gray T-shirts and navy zip-up hoodies. He added the confused face emoji with the note “feeling undecided.”
The go-to outfit has become practically trademark for the Facebook founder, who was portrayed on the big screen by Jesse Eisenberg in 2010’s The Social Network. Wardrobe choices aside, paternity leave was a very important decision for the tech mogul, and one that he shared with his followers prior to his daughter’s arrival.
You can see the FB post here. Were my closet that organized, I would never leave it. I applaud Mark for keeping paternity and family leave in the spotlight. As we discussed when he first announced his leave, Silicon Valley is spearheading a progressive approach to paid leave. By reminding the public of the importance of family leave, let’s hope other business leaders follow suit.
So what is DaddyZuck working on now that he is back? If his posts are anything to go by, it looks like he is following up on Internet.org, Mark’s initiative to connect the world through the Internet. If this is true, Mark best roll up his perfectly pressed cotton sleeves because he has his work cut out for him.

So cute!! She looks as big as him.
I know, she has grown. I must say I like he’s dry sense of humour.
What a cute baby
Nice post. Good way to start the morning. Wishing him and his family the best
Almost all Asians have a commonly held beliefs that big ears, especially with lobes that are long, is an indicator of wealth and prosperity. It is supposedly reminiscent of the ears of Buddha.
Look at Max’s ears.
All of the baby pictures are cute, but my favorite is the Star Wars picture. The expression on her face makes me laugh every time. I want to take a baby swimming now, too.
Mark is really growing on me. Love his Max posts, she is adorable! I really wish that the parental leave policy would become an election topic in the US, but I doubt it will happen. For all the family values espoused by the Republicans, why doesn’t anyone point out the hypocrisy of expecting new parents to be back at work in six lousy weeks?
He’d grow on me too if he paid his fair share of U.K. taxes rather than profit shifting to pay minimal taxes in the countries where they hold offices. £4,327 in 2014 I believe. Foul man.
I want to take my baby for his first dip in the pool, but since I’m not a billionaire, and it’s winter, we shall wait for summer. LOL The gym pool here in town where I go has WAY to much chlorine and I don’t want to dry his skin out or have him breathing it in. Hehe.
This baby is ADORABLE!!!!!!! Love her!!!!!!
Max’s Ewok (?) picture is givinge life.
It’s admirable that he is trying to be as normal as he can. Very nice family.
baby jedi maxi is slaying me, she is darling
PLEASE, someone, tell me, what type of dog is that cute, fuzzy pup next to the bassinet? OMG
I think it’s a puli (sp?). They are amazing.
The dog is called Beast and has more than two million friends/followers(?) on FB
That’s a Puli.
Adorable dogs. Love water. What you won’t love is detangling their fur every other week.
I know having a child was a hard road for them, but they certainly hit the jackpot; Max is beautiful!
I wish I could wear the same thing every day without people thinking it was really weird.
That baby is sooooooooooo cute. I can’t get enough of her.
