Today Max met Dr. Kastellar, his new pediatrician here in Utah. Come to find out, Max or "Jon" as they call him at the Doctor's (so funny), is growing like a weed and developing nicely, especially for a preemie. He weighs 18 pounds, 5 ounces and is 27.5 inches long, putting him in the 24th percentile for weight and 38th percentile for height. I always expect him to be bigger than that, since he is our little chub-chub. Doctor's exact words when I told him I thought he would be a higher percentile in weight: "Well, he looks chunky, but if you were to put him next to other 8-month-olds, he wouldn't be as big." I love it.
To those of you who are already aware, I did ask the ped about Max's disappearing you-know-what. He says he is just a chunker, and it's normal, and he will grow out of it. What a relief.
Did you tell the doctor about the man that had to have the surgery. HAHA!! I'm sure he will be fine but I can't wait to tease him about it later. We will for sure be telling his wife about this little problem he has.
