Ben had his first test in medical school yesterday morning, which meant he got to take the rest of the day off! It was hot and sunny, so we went to THE BEACH! We don't get there often because Ben is so busy and Chase can't really be in the sun yet, but we sure had a fun afternoon there yesterday. Chase was in heaven having his dad around. So much that he wouldn't waste any time of their day together and refused to nap. By 6:30 last night he was falling asleep between bites of cereal. He's such a funny boy.
So since Chase is seriously a lightweight, we consulted with our pediatrician (via email) and decided that he probably needs more calories. He's a totally happy, healthy baby, but just a little on the tiny side. So I've started adding a full scoop of formula to his milk/rice cereal combo. I tell him he's just being like his Uncle Will (who adds protein powder and supplements like that to his drinks). I think it's working! The first week we did it he gained 7 oz! Just for comparison sake, and because I'm thinking he looks bigger, here a picture of him in his high chair this morning:
I can definitely tell that Chase is bigger in the more recent pictures, way to grow Chaser!!
ReplyDeleteHe's definitely bigger! And, I love that picture too where neither one of your boys is looking at you! Haha :) His hair is also looking a bit redder... cute cute boy!!
