Max (and parents) had a pretty scary event last Sunday. After a nice birthday dinner at the Weber Grill at Circle Center in downtown Indianapolis, we went a-shopping in the Carson’s department store. Long-story-short, we ended up flying out of the store to get Max to the Emergency Room with a pretty significant cut to his head. He’s feeling better now, but the 3 stitches he was given at Methodist Hospital took quite a toll from all of us. Here’s a few pics of the tough little guy, pre and post sutures:
We had a great Christmas season and Max traveled across the Midwest visiting family and having fun. Hope to have some pictures up soon, but here are some vids to catch everyone up on the Tater Bug.
RE: Your amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium product
What are you going to do to improve this terrible product? My 1 year old son will eat and drink just about anything, but he cannot stomach this gut-wrenching excuse for a generic medicine. It tastes so utterly vile that he chokes and spits most of it out, making it impossible to give a correct dosage. The runny chalk-water consistency easily spills everywhere, staining clothes and furniture during the futile attempts to get a tiny human to consume this swill. Was taste even considered when you crafted this noxious posion? How do you expect parents to administer something so repulsive to a child? The worst effect of this garbage is that my son is now weary of taking ANY medicines. He has swallowed up all kinds of medicines in the past with no problem, but this sewage has made him clam up at the very sight of a dropper. I would too. Here’s my novel suggestion for your company: When making a medicine for kids, don’t make it taste like swamp gas.
So many grand things this last week! Most importantly, Max turned 1 year old! (technically 1.75 years here on earth with us) Mom and Dad are now happy that we can answer people’s “how old?” question with out getting a surprised look. He had several friends and family attend his party at the new house and eat tons of food from Black Diamond Barbecue and birthday cake from Costco. For dinner, Max got to go out to a new Mexican restaurant and eat tons of avocado. Quite a day.
Max also had his 1 year doctor appointment this week, where he had 4 shots (ouch!) was 34″ tall and weighed in at slightly over 30 lbs. No more bottles or formula for the Max Man. It is all milk and sippy cups from here on out. He also was cleared to sit in his car seat facing forward (but this was primarily because he is way to big to sit in the rear facing position.) He had a lot of fun on his first ride and is looking forward to more.
Pics below and some video from this past month. More to follow soon. We are way too busy with this guy!
Max isn’t speaking many words yet, but he is very vocal. We have no idea what he is saying to or about this Cheerio, but he is certainly feels passionately about it.
Max is huge! 30lbs, 4 teeth of fury, and we can barely keep up with him. He is walking/nearly running all over the place, eating everything in sight and playing so hard all day at daycare that he falls right to sleep most evenings. We are looking forward to everyone (who can make it) coming to see him at his 1st birthday party later on this month. Mom’s doing a photo shoot for tomorrow, but for now, here are some iPhone pics and vids:
So far, his record is five steps (that we’ve seen) and no video yet. His preferred method of transportation remains to be his lightning fast crawl. His front 4 teeth are pretty visible now and he loves to flash the cheesy smile. He’s 34″ tall and 28 lbs and is eating just about anything we put in front of him. He has started to push away spoons, much preferring to pick up food and eat it himself. He even has some dance moves that he has been working on. Some recent pics and videos here:
