More on the wee gaffer!

Maxime had his 2 month needles yesterday. He was great after, no fussy mussy or fevers. It was probably worse for me to see him get the needles than for him to get them. He had 2; one for the regular vaccinations such as Diphtheria and Mumps... the other one was for ear infections, blood infections, meningitis and the flu. Also he weighed in at a very respectable 12lbs and 1 oz, (it sounds like he's a bass at a Wolfe Island fishing derby, he'd definately be a first prize winner!) He also grew 3 inches since birth, now 24 inches and his head circumference is 5 cm (now 58cm) bigger, so in other words he's growing:)He is 92 percentile for length, 72 for weight and 50 for head size. So he is doing wonderfully and continues to laugh, smile and is now starting to notice dangling toys and likes to occupy himself with this fun new discovery. This is Aunt Tiffany and Maxime, she has the power to make them sleepy because she is already a Mom:)

Maxime Update

HI All
Maxime is growing fast, he has a Dr. apt. tomorrow (Thursday Sept 27/07) for his first set of needles (done at the 2 month mark). I will update the blog with a weight, but I am guessing he is close to 12lbs because 3 weeks ago he weighed 10lbs and 8 oz. He is very alert now, focusing on everything with great intent! We have stared to look at simple books with large patterns, colors and shapes, and he will look at them for about 10 minutes. He is also starting to read "les livres Francaise", (French books for those non-French):) He is enjoying his wakeful times, now starting to giggle frequently, of course his parents are quite funny, or funny looking !??
My Mom thinks he is playing strange already, normally this occurs at 6 and 9 months, as he generally seems to want "Mommy" to hold him and cries when anyone else does. Some say I am spoiling him but research states you can't spoil a baby under 6 months and you have to attend to their crying.... so for all you skeptics out there, look it up:)
In summary: he is a great baby, not much crying and very content, we are super lucky!! Oh yes and he is also very handsome!
