Here's some recent pictures of Max.

We had an appointment with the paediatric dietician today and there is good news. Max is back on the growth chart! He's 21.8 lbs and 31.3 inches tall. He's still at the bottom of the growth chart but at least he's on it.
The dietician was great. She knew about delayed allergic reactions and really knew her stuff. She also works with a gastroenterologist 3 days a week so she sees a wide variety of GI problems. What she was able to confirm for us was that max has a type of intestinal colitis when fed certain foods: these being primarily dairy & soy and its derivatives. He is to avoid these foods until at least 2 years old.
We were concerned about his calcium intake and she had lots of information on that. She seemed confidant that he was getting enough through the solid foods and the potato milk but gave us ways to get more calcium into him. Interesting enough, she had never seen potato milk so she kept the box we brought as a sample for others.
All in all it was a very good day as it confirmed what we had concluded with the help of our naturopath and with our own instincts. Yeah Max!

Hello,
This is the inaugural blog entry for Max.
Max has returned from a week at the Wigamog Inn in Haliburton where he spent time with his mom and nana for 4 days. His dad joined him for 4 more days .
At the Wigamog, Max swam at least once a day and spent several hours in the huge playroom at the inn. He enjoyed the food there and ate like a madman. The days were spent touring the local area, visiting art galleries and finding a good place to have lunch.
Max is talking up a storm these days. Half the time, I can even understand what he's saying! He'll often sing to himself when he's playing and I think his favourite tune is "Old Macdonald". It goes kinda like this "Old Macdonald had a farm. Moo moo moo moo. Moo moo moo moo." He loves cows.
