Max's check-up

So today we visited the doctor for Max's 4 month check-up. Our little boy is really that little. It turns out that he has already doubled his birth weight - weighing in at 16lbs 10oz. And he's grown 5 inches. He's a chunk! But so lovable!!!

Lately, we've had some bad nights. Max is going through a nursing strike which isn't so much fun for me and Jeff. I'm hoping it will pass quickly. I miss cuddling with him. Doctor checked for an ear infection and saw what appears to be residual fluid from a cold but he says it should go away on its own. Max has already been on an antibiotic all week. Maybe he's teething - he sure likes chewing on hands and fingers lately. One article I read said to slightly freeze a rolled up wash cloth and give that to him before I nurse him and that should numb his gums. I will try tonight. At this point, I am willing to try anything.
