Visit to Dr Ross

Today, Maddie and Camden both had wellness check ups with Dr Ross. Maddie weighs 32.8 pounds (50th %tile), and is 37.25 inches tall (75th %tile). She is doing very well and will not have to see him again for a check up for a year!

Camden is 18 pounds 13 ounces (8.56 kg) which is 10th %tile, but we a re now on the growth curve!! he is 28 inches long or 25th %tile, and on that growth curve also!! Dr Ross feels that he has caught up on his weight and is doing really well!

We discussed eating and how well he is doing with cereals, yogurt etc... and will need to discuss with Boston about formula amounts and if we should be pushing the formula or foods.

So things over all are still progressing well and we will see Dr Ross again in October for his 12 month visit!

Busy Brown Summer!

This summer is flying by!! It is already late July, it is hard to believe. I know it has been more than a month since my last post, sorry! We are all so busy this summer, time got away from me!
Camden it doing quite well, no hospital or clinic visits this summer, other than well baby check ups with his pediatrician. His weight isn't growing fast, but he is not losing weight either. On these hot and muggy days, we have a tough time getting him to eat his formula. We give him boluses of formula (which seem to go right through him), or large volume at night. He has tasted a variety of foods so far. He has not made icky faces at applesauce, pears, peaches, peas, guacamole (go figure!!), potato, and he even got a hold of a spinach and cheese bread stick the other night and chewed on it and ate some of the filling! He really enjoys drinking water, much more so than his formula!
We have enjoyed spending time with family this summer also. Nana and Grampy have helped with child care conflicts in our schedule, and are getting more comfortable with tube feedings. Grammy is also learning how to care for the MikKey button, give medicines, and tube feedings. Living two hours away, she doesn't feel all that comfortable yet, but she will with more practice.
