So obviously at his last appointment something was fucked up. The scale or something. And while I'm not convinced it was correct this time (they had to do the weigh Josh AND Liam then weigh just Josh since a certain boychild was crabby) it's obvious he's fine.

In mid June he showed up as 28.75" and 21 pounds 13 oz.

A month later he'd grown 3/4" and LOST over a pound.

Now a month after his LAST check up he's up to 30" and 24 pounds on the nose.

Yeah. SOMETHING is wrong. He didnt gain 3 1/2 pounds in a month. *sigh* But basically my pediatrician said we'll throw out last months' stats as SOMETHING was off there.

Did I mention how much I love his ped? She's really just delightful. We may keep our shitty insurance just or her alone. She's so sweet and funny and always tells us random stories of other families.

We also discussed his eating (or lack therof) of solids. We're going to try giving him rice cereal in some of his bottles. Keep force feeding him. (and by force feeding I mean keep trying the strange distraction method and shoveling in through his pissiness or whatnot.)

her theory on why he stopped was interesting. She thinks its quite possible that when he got that awful flu? He somehow related food to the flu (since he stopped eating right after that flu) and now thinks food is bad.

We also discussed keeping him on formula after a year since switching to milk would be irresponsible. Also testing him for anemia at that point since one of the big problems after a year is the increased need for iron.

So we keep doing what we're doing. Try to trick his little ass. And worry about stuff later.



You can tell Mr 42 chins isnt really malnourished quite yet. ;)
