Popping out of P.J.'s

Thanks to everyone who checked on S after his appointments. At feeding therapy this week he acted very much like he acts at home. (Generally, he does great and makes it look like there is nothing wrong with his eating.) However, our feeding therapist thinks it was related to him not feeling well. We think that is a big part of the eating problem. S gets an upper respiratory something or another just about every other week and sometimes more often, and when he is sick, we see increased feeding issues. He got better after a few days this week but now he is under the weather again, so hopefully once he is better, his feeding will improve. After feeding therapy, we saw his pediatrician. We learned he had gained 8 ounces (without clothes) and is now up to 18 lbs. 4 oz. I was pleased to see this weight gain from the last 4 weeks considering he had been sick part of this time. Then, he had 3 shots! He did pretty well after this, having only a little fever that afternoon.

Even with all of his weight challenges, S is finally starting to grow out of a few things, mainly his p.j.'s! He is getting too tall to wear his 6-9 month "Sleep N Plays!" We could barely get them on him this week, so I bought some new p.j.s for him! I think he can still wear all of his winter clothes that he wore when we very first got him (for a few weeks in April before it got warmer), but some of his pants, while they fall down around his ankles due to his lack of a waist and hindquarters, they actually look like high-waters before they fall down! :)

Now for a recent funny picture...S decided recently that he likes to lay down in the bath water. He is pretty silly, and I'm wondering if maybe we need to start swimming lessons! I'm also thinking about gymnastics, as he is climbing on everything!! The director of his daycare even pulled me aside Friday to tell me how much he is climbing on things in his daycare room. Do they have gymnastics for 19 month old children??
