Happy Thanksgiving!


Last night, we had dinner at Becky & Eric's house. Jake was nice enough to share his little couch with Max.


Max's 4 month appointment went well. He weighs 14 lbs and 11 oz and measures 25 inches in length. The doctor said that both of those measurements put him in about the 50th percentile for his age. His head circumference was in the 75th percentile.

Max was a trooper for his shots. He got one oral vaccine and three shots in his little legs. He even managed to smile at the nurse through little tears after the first two...but after that third one, he really let us have it. It only lasted a couple of minutes though and then he was just sleepy.

We are on quite a sleeping streak. I'm not sure if it has to do with the shots, but he has slept about 10 hours each night for the last three nights! Mom and Dad are really enjoying it! We can all actually sleep at once...and not feel like zombies all day.

No teeth have popped through yet but he is still gnawing on his hands and drooling like crazy. I suspect that they will break through soon. Tylenol has helped a lot.

On today's agenda: turkey! Hope you have a good holiday!
