On Thursday Maxim had his 9 month doctor appointment. We learned that he is growing FAST! That is a good thing but also a sad thing for this mommy. He is 28 inches long and 18.5 pounds. This was the first visit where he freaked out when the doctor looked him over. Apparently he's starting to recognize the stranger thing where he does not want to go to just anyone. He's also quite active and constantly moving...this should be interesting once he starts crawling and walking. I did ask if I should be concerned that he's not crawling yet and she said no because he's a premie. She said we should probably expect it closer to the 12 month age for him, and closer to 18 months for walking. I guess the bonus of having a premie is that we get to enjoy the little baby stage a little longer than if he was full term.
He's a happy baby at the Doctor's office. Hey, when is he not happy?
Also on Thursday was Andy's birthday. Since Max did not take an afternoon nap we did not go out to dinner because he would be crabby at dinner and then that will roll into Friday. Since he is home with Andy on Fridays he did not want a crabby baby. We opened presents at home and played with the big man. Max really had fun with the tissue paper. He was playing with it and laughing. This will be fun when it's his birthday and for Xmas this year.
