Potty Training!

A couple of days ago I went to change a poopy diaper of Quentins and noticed he looked like he needed to pee, so I put him on his training toilet and sure enough he went! I put him on his toilet two more times that same day and he went again! He's gone two more time since, one of which he actually told me that he had to go before we put him on the toilet. I'm so proud of him!

We Made It!!!

Quentin had another weight checkup this past week. Things went really well; he had gained almost 1 lb in the 4 weeks since our previous check. He is now 21 lbs. 12.2 oz. The best part is that he is no longer below the 3%! He made it back onto the charts and is in the 3%-5% for his age! I'm so happy about that, you can't even imagine! (Well, I'm sure Julie could)
We also had his iron and hemoglobin levels rechecked to see if there was any improvement. His iron is up, but the hemoglobin was down a little bit. The doc is wanting us to continue giving him Fer-in-sol (iron) and Poly-vi-sol with iron (vitamin suppliment with iron) plus give him iron fortified cereal at least once a day, but twice would be better.
In other news, the doc talked with the people we met with the other month down in Ottumwa at the Health Clinic. We still haven't heard back from the nutritionist, but I guess they've been restructuring and will be getting back to us soon. Hopefully we will be talking with them again in Sept. and finally get our feedback. I'm sure they will be pleased to know that Q now is really only interested in eating fruit (berries preferred), broccoli, cheese, cheerios, bread, pasta, and rice. And that's about it. Mealtimes are quite difficult needless to say.
Overall though things seem to be looking up. I just hope they continue!

First Kiss

Over the weekend we had friends from college come and visit since we hadn't seen each other in about 4 years (for most of them). Kevin and Maureen have an adorable little girl Madeline who is 2 years old. She and Q seemed to get along pretty well and Sat. night they kissed! It was so cute! I wish we had gotten a picture of it.
