Weight Check

We went this morning for Tyler's weight check. (Remember, he'd lost 4 oz. at his 15-month checkup, which was one month ago.)

He gained 1 pound and 1 ounce in the last 34 days. That is half an ounce per day! The doctor was thrilled with his progress. I was a little concerned we'd been overdoing the supplements (adding heavy cream to his milk, adding Carnation instant breakfast to his milk, giving him regular juice instead of diluting it with water, and adding Polycose to his baby food three times a day) but his doctor said he's right on track and to keep doing everything the same. Tyler's weight is just above the 25th percentile.

I wish they'd checked his height. I know he's grown in the last month. Just this past week we've had to start locking the buttons on the ice and water dispensers on the refrigerator!

The doctor and Tyler's occupational therapist, who is helping with his feeding difficulties, have recommended that we see at gastrointestinal specialist because Tyler was gagging and throwing up liquids like Motrin and yogurt when he was sick last week. From what I understand, they will look to see if there is anything physically wrong with his stomach and his throat/esophagus. I'll keep y'all posted on that.

And now, do you want to see the cutest little belly ever?



Isn't he precious?! He didn't do it for this video, but sometimes, he'll yank his shirt back down. We'll ask "Where'd it go?" and he'll lift his shirt back up and grin like he's a magician making his belly button appear and disappear!
