9 Month Check Up

I like eating, why i am not gaining weight who knows?
Can we help you on the farm papa?
Papa and Mimi here i come.

Kaden is doing fine in school and had a good note sent home on Friday. He goes to the dentist Friday morning. He is still saying he won't let them look at his teeth but we'll see.

Skyler had his 9 month check up yesterday afternoon. For some reason he is not gaining weight and has lost more weight again. He was down in weight the last time we went when he had ear infections last month. He is only taking in about 24 ounces of formula a day and he should be getting in 45 ounces for his age and height. They are trying to up the amount he is getting and how many times a day he has a bottle to get more calories in him. Although we will have to see cause when we went up in the amount in a bottle before he would always puke it up so they had us go back down. She is wanting me to bring him back for a weight check in a month instead of weighting for his 1 year check up. If he does not gain any weight or he loses more then she is going to send us to the failure to thrive clinic to find out what is going on with him. So lets all say a prayer that we are able to get him to be able to take in more formula and gain some weight. The only other concern was the fact that he is not crawling yet and can scoot himself around on his stomach with pushing with his feet but is unable to get up on his knees yet. He also should be able to stand holding on the couch by himself but he is not. So she wants us to only let him in his walker for 15 minutes a day and give him as much tummy time as he will take.

So that is it for now i am praying that the dentist goes smoothly for Kaden and that Skyler will continue to improve with his weight and crawling.
