Doctor's Orders

We had Caleb's 1-year check-up this week.  We're proud our little guy gained and grew...but the doc still wants him to do more.  He's still below the 3rd% for weight and height.  But he's 50th% for his head, so she's not worried about his brain growing!  He's our little bobble-head.  :) 

Weight: 16 lbs 12 oz
Height: 27 1/2 inches
Head: 18 inches

Basically, everything David and I have been trying not to eat in order to lose weight, we have to give to Caleb.  We're going to try to add calories and fat in where we can.  The problem is, Caleb is already eating three good meals a day, an afternoon snack, nursing three times a day, and getting pediasure at night.  So it's going to be challenging to figure out how to do this.  His doctor said to add cheese on stuff, give him whole milk, even ice cream!  Really, we're not too worried about him because David and I were small babies, and Caleb is happy and doing fine developmentally.  We're just hoping he gets on the charts soon, otherwise his doctor might want to run some tests to make sure nothing is wrong. 

We think he's just perfect though!  :)

Oh, and an update on David and I - David has lost 19 lbs since Thanksgiving, and I've lost 7 lbs!  Still no exercise, just a healthy diet.  We're almost where we were when we got married!  We haven't seen those numbers in a lonnng time.  Hopefully with the spring weather around the corner, we'll be taking more walks and bike rides to get some exercise into our day.

Birthday pictures coming soon!
