Weight check

Micah had his weight check (bright and early at 8 am - meaning we had to leave the house before 7:30 which is early for Abby who is only awake at that time 50% of the time) 


He gained 8 ounces in the past two weeks. I'd say that's a pretty impressive gain as that's double the gain he had in the previous 3 months. 


The nurse just plugged his weight into the computer and plotted it on the growth curve and he's still not where he needs to be according to that. 


So we were given two options. 
1. Make an appointment with his pedi or the nurse practitioner and possibly end up with blood work to make sure there isn't an underlying problem (which isn't likely.)
2. Make another weight check appointment for next week, see if he's still gaining (which means another week where I try to stuff him as full as he can get at all times) then if he shows another gain it's likely we can just make his next appointment for his 15 month well check. 


I chose option 2 because I know how active his is throughout the day and there are days where he is just too darn busy to sit still and eat a good meal. I've added some new snacks that seem to be helping him put on some more weight so I'm confident that he's just busy busy busy and that's why he isn't gaining on the curve they want to see him on.
