Max still has a big head! He is in the 85th percentile for his head circumference. He has moved up the charts with his height to the 50th percentile at a staggering 2 feet 10.5 inches, and is still happily smack in the middle for his weight at 28 lbs.

I did the height predictor chart, as you can do this once they turn 2, and they predict Max will be 5'10" as an adult, about the height of his father. I guess we'll have to wait a few years to see how this prediction plays out!

While checking Max out we discovered that he has an ear infection. Seriously?! How do my kids keep getting ear infections? We are not going to medicate him, the doctor gave us a prescription to fill only if he starts to show symptoms of his ear bothering him. She thinks it was brought on from his teething so hopefully we can avoid medicating him and it will just go away on its own.

We also scheduled an appointment for Rory to have her ears checked out as we always do for when she completes her medicine. She of course has not cleared out her ear infection. So she is on her second set of antibiotics. We go back with her in 10 days and if the ear infection is not gone we have earned ourselves a visit to the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor to discuss tubes. I guess to be a candidate for the surgery you need to have 6 ear infections in 6 months or an ear infection that won't go away. Rory is currently at 4 ear infections in 5 months so she doesn't qualify there, but her ear infections take an awful long time to heal so if this one isn't gone by the end of her meds we will be heading there. I'm not trying to think too much about it until I know if we'll have to go there. I've heard lots of positive things about tubes, and both my sisters and I believe two of Dusty's siblings had them, but surgery is still scary so I'm not going to worry about it until I know we have to do it.
