Quincy's weight gain diet...

This morning was such a good one for us. Quincy woke around his usual time and Tyler went to the office for his morning meeting. When Tyler came back we headed to the doctor's for Quincy's weight check up. At his 9 mo. check up he had lost a pound, so we were instructed to come back in a month to see if he was gaining it back. At his 10 mo. check up for weight, he had only gained 2 ounces!! The doctor was a little concerned and so she told me to go back to full time nursing 7 times a day in addition to feeding more solid foods. Well after 49 nursing feedings, 21 solid food meals, approx. 15 crackers, 3 pieces of bread, along with 14 sippy cups full of juice we got him to gain 7 ounces! The doctor seemed pleased that he had gained 7 ounces in a week, much better than 2 ounces in a month! So we're all happy that he's healthy and strong. Once again...back on the chart.

He was such a little trooper at his appt. He was happy most of the time, that was until the doctor had to take care of a "inclusion" on his peanut. (She had to pull back his skin becuase part of it was growing together- Poor guy). I thought Tyler was going to pass out watching. I saw him wince a little and he had a look of pain on his face. I think Tyler was more traumatized than Quincy was. He (Quincy) cried a little, but it was all very quick. His doctor told us to make sure we keep some Vaseline on it so it stays like it should. Sometimes I think man, when it comes to all that stuff, it would've been easier to have a girl. You know all the cleaning and hygiene stuff you have to deal with "down there". We love our little boy though! And we're so delighted that he's back on track for his weight gaining.

This was after we got home. He's looking a little bit tired.

It's rare that we're all in a picture togeter. Most recently Quincy hasn't been liking to pose for the camera, as you can see here he doesn't really know what's going on.
