"Wow! Are you fat..." said the nurse to the Max after marking his latest weight on his chart.

"Wow! Are you fat..." said Max's docter as she read from Max's chart.

One month ago: 10 lb 14 oz.
Today: 14 lb 10 oz.

That's almost four pounds in one month. The kid is a monster. Charting his progress against the rest of the world Max is in the 75th percentile in weight for this age. His three-month-not-adjusted-because-I'm-a-premee weight.

Thankfully there's proof via this website Max truefully was 7 1/2 weeks early.

That's our precious "little" (well, at one time!)
SUPER Max! He's not gonna let a little thing like being born 7 weeks early slow him down...
And the wonderful nurturing of his parents....I'm sure has had some part in his remarkable progress.
Keep up the good work Maxey, Cor, and Annie.
You're doing a wonderful job. Never had a doubt.

Man oh man that grin video is fun to watch. I will probably watch that 20 times today. My employers thank you in advance for my poor work ethic today. ;)
