Updates, updates, updates.
On Wednesday of last week Maxwell went to the doctor for his 1 year check-up. Dr. Walley thinks he’s doing great! He even commented that his legs are long for his age and he might end up being quite tall. We’ll see! He’s now 30 inches tall (75th to 95th %), weighs 21 lbs, 11.5 oz (50th%) and has a head circumference of 19 1/4 inches (97thth %). Whoa, big noggin! No wonder some of those t-shirts are a little tough to get over his head! Must be those big brains…
Maxwell really didn’t like the doctor’s office from the moment I had to hand him over to the nurse to be weighed. I think we might be having a bit of separation anxiety! He was pretty pitiful after having to get weighed and measured…
But then cheered up a bit…
Until Dr. Walley wanted to poke on him…
It only went downhill from there. The 1 year checkup is pretty tough with all the shots. Maxwell actually got so upset after the shots that he threw up…all over me. Lovely. And that was before he had to go get his finger pricked. Drama. Thank goodness Robert had gone to the appointment with me. I needed backup! But, it’s all over now and we’re happy to have a good report from the doctor!
On Saturday Robert woke up Maxwell with the AL fight song blaring from his computer. Game Day! We had some business to take care of before watching the game though…the business of buying a new car! Fun! We headed out to the Jeep dealership where Robert made a deal…
Maxwell waited patiently…
and FIVE HOURS LATER, we had a new car!
I’m so excited! It was quite an adventure at the dealership though. We got out there bright and early on Saturday only to find out they were having this huge “Eliminator” used car sale which included 3 cars on sale for only $79. There was music blaring from a Hummer parked out front, tons of people looking for a deal, and it was a zoo. Or maybe a circus. Either way, it was crazy and literally took us 5 hours to get everything done. Maxwell was so good the entire time. Evidence…
and I think he’s super happy to have a new ride!
And, thankful to the DVR, Robert got home and got to watch the AL game in full. Roll Tide!
That’s all the updates for now! Tomorrow – updates from the first day of SCHOOL!
All of this plus two little top front teeth coming into view! It will be fun to break in your new Jeep on our road trip this week-end!
Yay for good reports! Exciting stuff going on in AL.
Nobody likes to go to the doctor! Glad to get the good report. All those brains must account for the head size – perhaps another Einstein!!! Have a safe trip – love to everyone.
