Surprise!

At today's doctor's appt, Max finds out he has dropped down to 75 percentile in height.

No, that's not shit on my face...

...it's an avocado. Yes, I eat solids now.

I went to the dumpling house...

...and the dumplings are finger licking good!

Who is Raistlin???

After asking what Max's middle name is, everyone responds with, "huh?" and "what's Raistlin?"  

Raistlin is my favorite, fictional character. (yes, even more likable than Batman...plus, Maxwell Batman Vu was already taken)

From Wikipedia:

"Raistlin Majere is a fictional character from the Dragonlance series of books created by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.

He undertook the arduous Test of Sorcery, which he passed, but in the process acquired golden skin (note: I have yellow skin), and was cursed with hourglass eyes which see the effects of time on all things (*note: I also am cursed with lasik starbursts).

Raistlin, although physically very weak, is extremely intelligent, and possesses uncommonly powerful magical abilities (*note: I am also extremely intelligent and possess powerful magic).

While ruthless in his pursuit of power, he holds to a code of conduct which repays all debts and protects those disadvantaged through no fault of their own.

Witness...

....my amazing physique in all its glory!!!

Max is 91 percentile in height and 50 percentile in weight!

Love the Ewok.

Max is sick and congested. To help clear it, we take evening walks so that the night mist would help clear it. Here's a pic of him in his warm, bear coat.

The boy can laugh now...

I like his laugh...it's a bit hysterical. He loves the carousel of animals and goes crazy if you tap the animals, making them bounce around.
