Wow, boy, need a diet?

To recap: between Robbie's six and nine month check ups, he gained four ounces. This begat a couple months of specialists visits and special diets and much stress and worry.
A month ago, I threw all the very expensive medical advice out the window and gave the boy some string cheese. And I poured myself a glass of milk.
We're pleased to report between May 11 and June 11, young Robert gained 1lb, 9oz. Allow me to do the math: That's a hair more than six times the weight he had gained in the previous three months (maybe five. I can't remember at the moment how much weight he gained between four and six months and that's where his weight really stopped...). He's actually looking a little chubby to me.
And if you've read this far, you clearly care, so...he's also off the laxative. All systems go and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Yaye! Ask me any questions! I wish I wasn't so stubborn and made up my mind sooner, too. After a year and a half, I am giving up the GE's fancy growth velocities and heading back to the Gen Peds where they think L is doing great!

Hooray! I'm so glad Robbie is gaining weight. It must be quite a relief!! Hope things continue to go well. :0)

Yeah, What do doctors know anyway? Don't tell me husband I said that but I really think mother's do know best.
