Weight check...

So, I'm not going to lie, the words weight check and Jack scare me...seriously.  We have been working on getting this kid to gain weight since he was born.  He was always on extra calories, had a protein shake when he was in the NICU and even when we came home, he was on higher calorie formula and just recently had a calorie supplement added to his food.  Well, this time, his weight check went great!!!  He is now up to 19.4lbs and 28 inches long.  His weight jumped up to the 50% mark on his special growth chart!  It made me so happy!  We finally get to come off formula and we are transitioning to Pediasure - a higher calorie milk drink for kids.  They come in flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.  It definitely smells better than formula, so that's a plus for us.  I'm going to have to start searching for coupons for it...that'll hopefully end up being cheaper than formula. 

 Jack is playing with one of his favorite toys...tupperware!


Look at how happy he is while eating lunch...wonderful!!

  1. Literally laughing out loud at the tupperware picture. I actually at first thought you let him put a plastic bag over his head and was appalled...then realized what it actually was. Seriously...still laughing - like tears in my eyes laughing.
