They made me be a Pumpkin, and I really didn't want to be a Pumpkin

Halloween
11lbs 1oz

I gained 2 oz in the past week. It is not much, but at least I am not losing weight. I'm still not eating as much as I should, but seem to be doing a little better every day.

I'm doing ok, but I have had a little problem. I developed reflux, and have had problems eating as much as I should the past few weeks. I have not gained any weight for 2 weeks, but have been able to eat enough to not lose any weight.
My parents have always tracked every ounce I eat since I came home so they caught the problem early and got me to my pediatrician before I lost any weight. Dr. K. put me on some medicine to help with the problem, and it seems to be working. The only problem is that it takes some time to heal any damage that I may have.
I am starting to eat more, but am not yet eating as much as I was a few weeks ago.
I have also seen a nutritionist, who changed my formula to higher calorie, a speech therapist to discuss other options, my pulmonologist who gave some great advice, and was able to visit with several other doctors and nurses to get their opinions. ( If any of you are reading this, thank you very, very super much for your help ).

This is why I have not posted any pictures in some time. I have been keeping mommy and daddy very busy, going from Doctor to Doctor, working on getting me to eat, and not allowing me to lay flat so my food does not back up. I'll keep everyone posted on how I am doing.
Look how much I have grown.

My first hat does not seem to fit anymore.

Daddy's ring is getting smaller and smaller.

Tomorrow, my adjusted age is 2 months, and my actual age is almost 6 months. I wanted everyone to see how much I have grown over the past 6 months.

Boldly going where no baby has gone before.

I'm starting to smile when I am happy.

Just after I received my RSV shot. I didn't like it, but needed it.

10 lbs 9 oz




I received a RSV ( respiratory syncytial virus ) shot today. RSV causes a cold in older children, but can cause a life threatening infection in younger or high risk children.

I wore my sunglasses for the first time today. Don't I look cool? My granny gave me the glasses a few months ago.

In 2008 I got to be Superman. I liked that a lot more than the 2007 Pumpkin
