Max had his two-month checkup yesterday - and the pediatrician declared him a "gorgeous healthy baby". We couldn't agree more! He is up to 10 lbs 12 oz (32nd percentile) and 23 3/4 inches (83rd percentile). We have a long, lean baby! But the doctor said his weight gain is good, so it looks like he is growing well.Enjoying some time with daddy:
Max met all of my sides of the family this weekend - at least some representatives from each side at least. It was Purdy Reunion weekend, one of my favorite summer gatherings and this year we resurrected the tradition of homemade ice cream (grandma's recipe made by me) and held the second-annual water balloon toss with the Ass Backwards statue (a little guy riding backwards on a donkey) as the trophy. Mike did not reprise his roll as winner - instead Erin and Bill will take a turn with the trophy on their mantle. (And I am sure we will hear about it every time we see Bill between now and the next water balloon toss.
Max was knocked out by all the activity.
And he got to meet Uncle Phil for the first time AND take his first trip to Pizza House so mama could get a Chipati. Yummm.
Overall a successful weekend trip to Michigan. He was so good in the car we may even do it again sometime.
That photo of you with the sling is gorgeous. You look so content.
ReplyDeleteLove the one with Phil,too.

Glad to see and hear that Max is growing at a good pace. He looks like a very healthy kid, and we hope to meet him soon.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the car rides while you can! I know all babies are different, but we have since found on our second and third road trips with Connor that he - like his parents - HATES traffic.
We have found that cell phone ringtones can be great distractions to the fact that you are not moving.
