Packing it on!

Hi Cal,

After your four month appointment, Annette suggested that we start giving you a big bowl of cereal twice a day to help you put on a bit more weight. From that day on, you began to have a quarter cup of cereal for breakfast and a quarter cup for dinner. The first few times, it was a bit messy, but once you got the hang of it, you loved it. After a few days, we started to add some fruits and veggies to your diet. Bananas were first, followed by pears, sweet potatoes and carrots. You liked it all! And it worked. Within a few weeks, Daddy and I could see that your face was getting chubbier and your clothes were fitting better. I was excited for your follow up weight check to see how much weight you had actually gained.

Your follow up appointment was three weeks after your four month appointment. Annette told us at four months that she was hoping to see you gain a pound by that appointment. Well, you did that and then some! At four months you were 9 pounds 10 ounces. At this appointment you were 11 pounds 2 ounces. One pound, 8 ounces in three weeks!! Daddy and I were so happy when the scale landed on that number! You are still skinny, but at least you are back on the chart!
