Max's Doctor Visit

Max had his four month checkup last week. These are his stats from his doctor visits:

1 week old:
Weight: 6 lbs. 8 oz. 9th percentile
Height: 20 in. 43rd percentile
Head: 14 in. 32nd percentile

1 month old:
Weight: 7 lbs. 15 oz. 10th percentile
Height: 20.75 in. 23rd percentile
Head: 15 in. 49th percentile

2 months old:
Weight: 10 lbs. 6 oz. 24th percentile
Height: 22 in. 22nd percentile
Head: 16 in. 72nd percentile

4 months old:
Weight: 15 lbs. 3 oz. 54th percentile
Height: 25 in. 43rd percentile
Head: 17 in. 68th percentile

This is more for me than anyone else but it's fun to look at how he's grown. He's certainly doing just fine.

Family Reunion

We went up to Utah County last weekend for Chris' family reunion. Four out of the nine kids in Chris' family had kids within seven months of each other. We tried to get some good pictures of all of them together. (Click on the picture to see the names since they are small here.)

We tried to get another good picture on Sunday but it's hard to get four kids under the age of 1 to all look good at the same time.

This is what was behind the kids in the last two pictures but it doesn't show up very well in those pictures so I had to include this one of Reed's family (Chris' brother). It's on the side of my in-laws house and I wish I had taken a family picture there too.

At the reunion.

Trip to North Carolina

We went to visit my family in North Carolina over Labor Day weekend. We took direct flights out of Las Vegas and Max did great on the way out (not a single peep!), but fussed a little coming back. It wasn't too bad though. The plane was pretty full on our way back. But with an infant, everyone still avoided the empty seat next to us so we had a full row to ourselves both ways. That was so nice that we really didn't mind people avoiding us like the plague.

I have a brother and sister that live near my parents with their two kids each and a brother in Maryland at med school who came down for the weekend too. His wife is expecting in February and I was surprised she felt up to the trip. It was great to see them since I don't know how often we'll get to in the future. I've heard med school keeps you busy...

Max is constantly trying (and sometimes succeeding) to fit his whole fist in his mouth. Sometimes he gags himself.
My Mom and Max
Max in his swimming trunks. He didn't get in the pool much but he likes to be outside.Lonna (my one niece out there) playing with Max. My sister's one year old, Colin, drinking from the (empty) Coke can. He was hilarious with it.
Max is so cute and so sweet; especially right now when he's been asleep for 2 1/2 hours and is letting me get stuff done around the house. He's definitely my child though. He already loves to be upside down, up in the air, or playing with the dogs.

The dogs stayed with our friend in Las Vegas and her four border collies. I don't think they wanted to come home. Murphy slept in bed with our friend and I think she likes her better than us now. :)
