Benny had his well check yesterday and the good news is that his little wang (I can say that on my blog, right?) Has straightened out so we are no longer considering surgery. The thought was he would end up with a side-squirting stream ;)
The not so great news is that he is dropped into the 10th percentile for weight. He is in the 70th for height, but has only gained 5 oz in the last 4 months. Nothing like a big dose of mom guilt to brighten my day. The kids eats! A lot! He had 3 bananas on Sunday for snack alone. ugh. So we are going back in March to
In other news: he's still pretty cute.

ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad Leah! We are going through the same thing with Liam. He is now "up" to the 1 percentile (yes, thats 1%) for weight and 99 for height with is better than the -0 percent (if that even makes sense) he was before. My cousin-in-law is a infant dietician and she said that is really common around the age when kids start waking and burning so many calories. Suggestions she gave included whole milk, whole yogurt (the brand called Fage has 20 grams of fat!) with jam stirred in. whole cottage cheese, stirring olive oil into everything he eats, and dried fruit (which she says is calorie-dense). Basically anything that goes in his mouth should "count" so instead of munching on plain crackers, put nut butter on them or cheese. I am trying all of this and he is slowly gaining but it's hard with this little guys who take after their skinny dads isn't it!
