16 Weeks Old!!!

Max was 16 weeks old yesterday! Time is truly flying by! He had his 4 month checkup and passed with flying colors. Dr. McCown was impressed with how well he is growing and developing. He said we have already gotten our Christmas present - the fact that Max usually sleeps between 8-9 hours every night. Such a good baby!! Max was a happy little guy throughout the exam, even giving the doctor a few cute smiles! We thought these pictures were so sweet, especially the picture above of Max holding the doctor's finger while he was listening to his heartbeat.









Max now weighs 15lbs 11.5 oz and is 24.75 inches long! He is getting so big! He is in the 70th percentile for his weight and the 60th for his height. The picture below and on the left is from his 1 week exam. Compare that with yesterday's 16 week pic on the right - can you believe it's the same baby??!!!














Max had to get 4 more immunizations, which was so sad! He definitely did not like that part! I think it was harder on Jeff and me, though. We felt so bad for him all day, long after Max had completely forgotten it had even happened!! :) He fell sound asleep before we had even left the doctor's office. He wasn't traumatized for long!!

Jeff and I feel so blessed by God to have such a healthy baby boy. He is such a joy to have as part of our family!

Thanks for the blog updates. It makes it so easy and fun to keep up with Max.
I remember when Leslie was this size!

I can't but believe Max would be this doctor's most favorite patient in the whole world. There couldn't be a sweeter child. Am I partial?
