New Teeth

Quentin just got two more teeth poking through! Hopefully that's why he was crankier than usual the other day. This brings his total up to 14 and I'm pretty sure he's going to be getting the bottom two any day now.

Weight Update

As a quick weight update for Q - his appointment on Friday went quite well. He gained just over half a pound. I guess the Scandical calorie booster stuff I've been adding to his food is helping out. Although it sure would be nice if he would just eat what I give him without any problems like he used to. At the very least I hope he continues to gain like he did this last week. Another weight check in 2 weeks this time.

Weight Update

Today was another visit with the doc to check on Quentin's weight. He did gain 2 oz which was good and puts him at 20.35 lbs. On the other hand he's still not weighing in where the doc would like to see him so we're now going to be giving him 5-6 small meals a day and we need to go out and buy some product that we're to put on all his food that adds extra calories. Hopefully this will go well (giving him pediasure did not, which is what she had us try last time). And so we have another appointment in a week to recheck his weight again.

Fun Filled Weekend

We had a lot going on this past weekend. First we had a visit from Aaron's mom who bought some new toys for Quentin. One toy was a swing that Aaron put up on our tree in the backyard. Quentin started out not wanting to sit in it to laughing with joy as he was pushed back and forth. Then Aaron, Quentin and I went to the Pella Tulip Festival on Saturday. Finally, on Sunday we drove up to Ames and went and saw the dinosaur exhibit they put up at Reiman Gardens with my parents and our 3 nephews.

Improvement (Sort Of)

Quentin had his iron levels checked again this past week and they were up! We're still giving him iron and a multivitamin with iron every day and hopefully he will continue to improve with that. On the down side the doc said he had lost a little bit of weight (I don't know how much since she didn't say, but don't think it was very much). So for now we're to give him only Vitamin D milk and Pediasure to drink - no water and no juice. Hopefully that will help!
