9-month checkup

The doctor says Max looks fantastic, but his weight is actually down over the last 6 weeks. He's now below the charts on weight, 75th percentile in head size and in the 25th percentile in height.

The doctor is having us redouble our efforts to plump up our grape. Max will now get cream in his baby food and we have a whole list of recommended high-calorie meals for him.

Heck, we may even replace Max's formula with gravy on Thanksgiving. Kidding.
