Three Month Doctor Visit
stocky: (stŏk'ē)
-adj. stock·i·er, stock·i·est
1. Solidly built; sturdy.
2. Chubby; plump.
chubby: (chuhb-ee)
–adjective, -bi·er, -bi·est.
round and plump: a chubby child; a chubby face.
pudgy: (puhj-ee)
–adjective, pudg·i·er, pudg·i·est.
short and fat or thick: an infant's pudgy fingers.
svelte: (svělt)
adj. svelt·er, svelt·est
-Slender or graceful in figure or outline; slim.
"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.

Early On #2
Max had his first "official" assessment yesterday.
Joy, who is our assigned travel-nurse, brought Katie the dietician along to help with the evaluation. The first words out of Katie's mouth in site of Max was, "Wow! Is he fat....!" With that response, any concerns about his diet were abrubtly put to rest.
As far as his developmental skills are concerned, he passed with flying colors. How he holds his head, arm movement, holding a rattle, following an object or person across his field of vision with his eyes while turning his head, going cross-eyed while following and object to his nose, smiling, etc., were all parts of the equation. Even little things we had no idea about like "bringing his arm to his midline" popped up during his appointment.
One month skills: check, check, check, check...
Two month skills: check, check, check, check...
Three month skills: check, check....
There were only a couple of things in the three month checklist he hasn't quite got the hang of yet: reaching for things, and chuckling. We know he's on the verge of both though. His smiles are too big not to be laughing soon, and he's been watching his own hands off and on lately.
Joy basically said if it wasn't for his continued reflux, she wouldn't even have to come back in a month, versus waiting two.
We're real proud of our short, "stocky", little boy-genius.
Doctor's appointment next week so we'll have a weight update. Keep in mind I said "stocky".

What 3 months can mean...
I was just going through some of the first pictures and just experienced a pretty heavy reality check.
The pictures say it all.
