Cowboy James

James had a surgery follow-up appointment today. He weighed in at 19 lbs and almost 9 oz, which was a nice improvement over last week's appointment. They thought everything looked fine, but they still want to see a few more months of weight gain before they take the g-tube out. They also recommended that we try adding pectin to his diet to possibly help with weight gain (apparently it helps with absorbing fatty acids), and also recommended that we restart him on some vitamins just to be on the safe side. They also gave him a teddy bear, which he liked. :)

We tried again with the new formula today (chocolate version this time). James tried maybe a sip but then didn't want any more. Mattie seemed to like it, at least out of Daddy's cup, but then, he's not the one that needs to drink it!

I wonder if they make a version flavored like baby shampoo, since James seems to enjoy drinking from the tub. :) Silly boy.

Jamesie's new word for today was "butterfly." He's also been repeating a lot of words after us (hand, no, and I'm sure others that I can't remember with the sleep deprivation of Mattie waking up multiple times last night).
