Mighty Max is a whopping six months old today! This morning he had his check up with Dr. Nash and had to get a whole slew of shots. He has been a little tired and cranky ever since, but did a great job. Max is now 29.5 inches (99%) but still only 17 pounds and 1 ounce (44%). His weight has stayed the same for the past couple of weeks. It could just be because we were all sick and his eating got all out of whack, but Dr. Nash wants to keep an eye on it, so we are going to go back in 4 weeks for a weight check. Other than that, we don't need to go again until his nine month well child check.
This week Max has started sitting up all by himself. It doesn't last for too terribly long, but he's really getting the hang of it. Max also enjoys rolling all over the place and grabbing things that he shouldn't as well as shoving things in his mouth and trying to use a sippy cup! He is a busy little boy. In breaking news, Max had two days in a row where he took a two hour afternoon nap and even had one night (it was not repeated) where he slept for 9 hours straight! Maybe we are starting to turn the corner on the sleep issue ... maybe? He is a very busy, chatty and lovey little guy.
In other news, Max has an appointment at OHSU pediatric neurosurgery on April 6th for them to take a look at the little bump on his head. It will be interesting to see what they have to say about it.
