Tall and skinny....

You've probably guessed already this post isn't about me! Ha ha!

We had Robby's 6 month dr apt last week on Oct 4th and it went pretty well. Turns out our little munchkin has been losing some weight! He has grown taller and is more active but still, he lost about a pound and a half since 5 months. He definitely spits up all the time.... after every time he eats... a lot. So we discussed this reflux and what we could do about it.

We just started him with some rice cereal this week which he seems to love - not necessarily the cereal but the whole experience I think. We are going to try to nurse him tons and give him some solids and see if we can't fatten him up a bit. Not that being skinny is bad but since he has lost weight it's not as good. So we will go back for a weight check in 2 weeks to see if we're making progress on our own and if not maybe talk about some reflux medicine.

For those who love "stats" his are:

BIRTH weight: 8 lbs 2 oz; height: 20 in; head: 34 cm

6 MONTHS weight: 14 lbs 11 oz (10th percentile); height: 28 inches (92nd percentile); head: 42 cm (10th percentile)

At an apt at 5 months he was 16 lbs! I can't find the paper with the 4 month ones but I'm pretty positive he was 14 lbs something ounces at 4 months...

I took some naked pictures but none turned out totally modest... oh well I can't resist posting at least this one... sorry....

and then some diaper ones...



to show how tall and skinny he is! It's so fun he's been making lots of noises and even has said "da" and "ma" - I don't think he meant to say dad and mom but it's still fun. He is such a sweet snuggly little boy. I just love him to pieces!!!!
