Max @ 15 Months!

Our incredibly active boy just turned 15 months on our 5th anniversary. With that came a doctors appointment and an MMR shot. As soon as Max sees the doctor these days, he looses it. In fact he was so hysterical for the routine part of the exam (heartbeat, weight checking, etc.) that he passed out on Perry's lap before his shot. I think the doctor was even more relieved than we were.

Here are some stats:
Weight: 25 pounds (60th % - he's slimming down)
Height: 31 1/2 inches (65th % - he's getting tall!)
Head circumference: 75th %

He is still a super picky eater and sleep is still an issue for us but we wouldn't trade him for anything in the world! He now says momma, dada, ball, bus, bird (although the last three sound the same), and dog. He loves being outside and running around and gets cranky if we coop him up for too long. He LOVES attention, gets a ton of it and seems to get upset when people don't pay attention to him. He's very social and loving. He likes to dance and spin and do somersaults with daddy. And he is clearly the cutest boy in the world :)

Too Much Punch

Max at 15 months. Kind of like mom at 21, but not really :)

Elevator

Max looks so proud when we let him get on and off the elevator in our building by himself!

Sicky

Our poor little guy got his first fever, first ear infection, and first bout with bronchitis. It's been almost 2 weeks since he came down with a fever (102.5 to start), the doc diagnosed it as 'an undetermined viral thing'. His fever went down in a few days but instead of getting better, poor Max got increasingly fussy. We found out he had an ear infection and bronchitis but once again, instead of getting better with the antibiotics the doctor prescribed him, he continued to get worse. Turned out, his antibiotics weren't helping and he was prescribed something stronger that will hopefully bring back our happy boy. The doc also had Perry give him some albuterol via nebulizer to help clear and relax his little lungs. Needless to say, it's been a rough few weeks for all of us.

Ball!

Today Max ran up to a ball and said the word "ball" for the first time. He threw the ball and said "ball" two more times, clearly. He hasn't done it since.

He has also been saying momma and dada for awhile, has said doggy, and can do the signs for milk, more, and no more.

Happy 1st Birthday Max!

Max had two celebrations for his 1st birthday. First grandpa Joel came in for his actual birthday, and we had Carrot Cake (which Max enjoyed sans frosting), and opened presents.



Then 1 week later, Aunt Jenn and Uncle Scott hosted a first birthday party in their condos common room. It was a perfect space and a bunch of Max's friends were able to join and run around with him. Uncle Jerry and Aunt's Jesse and Gina came all the way from San Diego for Max's special day!

Tooth number 3 and a very drippy nose

Here's a good shot of Max's new tooth and his persistent runny nose.
