Max went to the doctors yesterday and he is 27.8 pounds and 33 3/4 inches. He is growing up so fast. Since Max is not talking yet, I decided t hold off on shot until he is. I am not concerned about Autism but it is something I think about. I know it is more prevalent in boys.
As for his talking, I think his ear infections really halted his babble period and so here we are at 20 months with only 4 shots ever given to him so another few months won’t mean anything. But Max also plays with 4 boys who are not talking either and they are older than him. I know he will talk when he feels like it. Max is like that with stuff-he does it when he feels like it.
And since Max is not going to preschool anytime soon-well then I figure we have time. I have never be fond of how shots are given to kids-so many at one time and when their little immune systems have not grown up yet but for some kids-it is fine and for others-well not so fine. I just think Max is a sensitive guy all around-allergies, ear infections until the procedure and his emotions. It feels good to be an advocate for my kid. Like I said, every kid is different and so this is just what we have decided.
Max is finally back to himself. I think it must be hard adjusting to life back home. In New York we were constantly on the go-even more than at home- no wonder I was tired. But he is back in his routine just in time to leave for the beach-Long Beach Island, New Jersey. It will be nice to end the summer this way.
Well have a good night.

My boys were all late talkers. Now they won’t shut up! Try not to worry, he will talk when he is ready too.

Yeah, my now 6 year old stepson was a late talker too…now he talks NONSTOP. Seriously, sometimes I miss the days of silence.

I have no idea what is considered normal in regards to talking. I feel like Porgie says lots of stuff, but she certainly isn’t speaking in sentences yet. And I hear that little boys usually talk later than little girls. Who knows?
