After a reschedule due to the snow and ice, Maxwell and I made our way to the pediatrician yesterday. It was a GREAT report all around. Dr. Walley looked at his stats and said, “I think this is the definition of thriving!” Hooray! Maxwell is up to 15 lbs which is in the 50% to 75%. Chubbo! We love all his rolls! The most surprising number is his height. He grew 3 inches since his last appointment and, at 26 inches, is still in the 95% for height! what?! Now, he might slow down on this growth and average out but you never know. He could be a tall dude! This definitely explains why all of his outfits look like knickers on him! 🙂 The doctor also thinks he’s starting teething which explains all the chewing…on everything. We’re going to wait until 6 months to start rice cereal because that’s how Dr. Walley rolls. Fine with me. Things are working great as they are now so why mess with success?!
Here’s a few iphone pics from the appointment:
Happily playing while waiting for the doc…
Not very happy with the 4 needles that were stuck in his leg…
Am I a bad momma for taking that photo? I was comforting him, I promise! 🙂
Poor, pitiful leg…
Not to worry though, he was calmed down a few minutes later and we were on our way home!
So glad to get a good report from the doctor! Hope you all have a great weekend!
Poor little Maxwell! So happy in the first picture and so sad in the second one! Then it looked as if he thinks Dr. Walley is nice but going home is nicer!
Healthy and happy, what more could you ask for? Perhaps a sucker for manning up on those shots! Can’t wait to see y’all tonight.
Yay for happy doctor reports! Three inches! Go Maxwell!
