Poor Max

Max had his 9 month check-up at the doctor's office today and all I can say are two little words...."Poor Max". First, he was weighed and measured. He weighed in at a grand total of 15 pounds, 7 ounces and measuring 28 1/2 inches long. Fortunately, he is average height in the 60th percentile, but, unfortunately, his weight puts him well below the chart (like sister, like brother). Besides that, he had his severe constipation problem tended to....that's probably enough said. Like I said...."poor Max". Little does he know that he has another "poor Max" moment (enema) coming later when Ben gets home because there is no way I could do it by myself. He also has low iron, but anything to do to boost his iron (i.e., oatmeal, iron supplement, etc.) causes constipation....."poor Max". And, there is pretty much nothing we can do about his passing out episodes except take an infant CPR class just in case it's needed.....and for that I say...."poor mommy". Besides that he is a very healthy 9 month old. Could he really be 9 months old already???
