We can't believe it ourselves, but Max is six months old. In some ways time has flown by and in other ways it seems like we're living the exact same day over and over and over. Max is still a really good baby. He's happy most of the time and he frequently smiles and laughs. Mabel and Sam adore their younger brother and always give him hugs, kisses or a loving whack on the head (from Sam mostly). Max always smiles when Mabel plays with him, but he usually cries whenever Sam even gets close (must be something about those whacks on the head).
At his doctor checkup today he weighed in at a hefty 17lbs 10oz and is 27 inches tall. Surprisingly he is in the 54th percentile for weight and 72nd percentile for height. When the doctor reviewed his stats he commented "So, he's tall and skinny". He then looked at Max who was standing on my lap in just his diaper and we both started to chuckle. Not everything is as it appears - just check out those thunder thighs.
Max is a healthy boy all around. He might have a slight ear infection, which explains why he woke up at least three times last night. He also has dry skin around his mouth thanks to Utah's dry climate.
Overall Max is a joy to have in our family. And maybe now we can stop teasing him about being chunky and calling him Porky. He already has a new nickname - Slim.

Max is growing up way too fast. I can't believe he is six months old already. What a handsome little guy he is.
