July 19, 2007

So you all know that we've been extremely concerned about Little Man's weight. When he went in for his 18 mo well-child visit he was under the 5th percentile for weight!! So we've been doing everything we can think of to help boost his weight, like giving him Pediasure, putting butter or sour cream or gravy on his food, replacing juice with smoothies, etc (keep in mind there are very few table foods he can or does eat at this point) but you get the idea.

I had to take him to the doc yesterday because he's been running a low grade temp for almost a week, along with a few other symptoms. So we got all that squared away and at the same time we found out that he is now just above the 10th percentile for weight! YAY! His doc even said that she thinks he looks 'bulkier' than he did a few months ago.

On another note, we're anxiously awaiting details about our newest cousin that is to be born today! Last I heard his name was to be Jacob Matthew (hmmm...now where have I heard that name before? LOL!) Congrats Christina & Matt!!

We also have a niece that should be making her appearance anytime between now & the next few weeks. I tell ya, this IS the year of the baby - I can't tell you how many people we know that are having babies this year!!

Tomorrow we're attending "A Day in the Country" featuring Belle & her Blue Bell Ice Cream (yum) at the Washington Co Fairgrounds and this weekend we're going to be making our front yard look decent! (Look for pics if we're successful, lol).
