Back on the Charts!

Last week I went back to the doctor at Children's Hospital so they could check how well/not well I am gaining weight these days. Well - we had GREAT news. At my pediatrician it showed I was back on the charts in the 5th percentile. Well - at Children's I showed the same progress. I am now up to 23lbs 11oz - still the 5th percentile for 2 yr old boys. IF however you look at my weight to height comparison instead of just overall age group...I am in the 20th - almost 25th percentile! WHOO-HOOOOO!!!!! Mommy was so happy! The doctor said I should still keep taking my appetite stimulant for a while, but if Mommy and Daddy think I am doing ok without it we can stop. I have to go back in 3 months for a follow up and if everything is going ok at that point I think I might be all done there.

I take this appetite stimulant for 12 days and then take 12 days off. Well - I've been "off" of it for a couple days now and I've still been eating pretty good. Now instead of mommy and daddy constantly asking me to take bites and eat my food we set a timer. It's a bear timer and I get 30 mins to eat. If I don't eat when I'm supposed to then I end up getting really hungry before my next meal. I'm not great at it yet - but I'm getting there. I guess they want my sister to learn good eating habits right away.

Here I am "testing" Christmas cookies at Grandma's while Mommy, Grandma, Great Grandma and Aunt Sheila made cookies.

Mommy thinks it's funny because I now like to say "I'm HUNGRY Mommy". Like I'm starving and haven't eaten in days. I think I've now figured out that snacks are fun and taste good.

This is my new table. I got it for Christmas last year, but we haven't had room for it in the kitchen until now. I like to eat snacks by it and play play dough.

My goodness...I try to catch one little nap and that camera comes out. Don't you ever sleep while you eat?
