Update

Well I have not been on this as much as I would love to be but that's because I have had my hands full with my crazy 2 year old big boy!! Scott is doing a little better with his weight finally. Scott has finally overcome his milk and soy allergy and he is doing well with eggs as long as it is just them being baked in a recipe or something. I have not yet tried giving Scott like scrambled eggs or anything. Scott is finally at the 20 pound marker and has grown over 2 inches since January and gained 2 pounds 9 ounces in 2 months!!! I am very proud of my son even though he is still not quite where he should be. Scott is not quite yet putting 2 to 3 words together yet but he is saying more and more words everyday. Scott is walking fast but not yet really running and he is still trying to get the hand of a few other gross motor skills but he sure can climb like a little monkey lol. Well other than that Scott is doing pretty good. He is on pediasure to help continue his good weight gain. He gets 4 bottles of pediasure a day and he is taking whole milk. We are still trying to get Scott off the bottle and onto a sippy cup. I'm not quite sure why exactly he is having so much trouble with this. The only other thing I can think of is because of his oral aversion. Any suggestions anyone?? Any tricks on how to get him onto the sippy?? Well that's about all for now. Take care all!!!

GREAT NEWS!!!!

So we do have some bad news but the good totally cancels it out!! Unfortunately Scott lost almost a whole pound since his last GI appt. Scott is now only at 17lbs 6 ounces. He has gotten longer/taller whatever you wanna call it... He is now 30.25 inches!! The GI reviewed Scott's allergy test results and decided to retry him with milk to see if the milk fats can help add some pounds back on to him. We had Scott on milk products all day yesterday and no reactions!!! No vomitting or diarrhea!!! I am so excited because this gives us such a wider variety of foods we can give him and hopefully he will gain some more weight from the milk fats!!! Well I do have to make this short and sweet since I have to get to work but I will be back on later tonight to post more about Scott's progress.

God Bless and I hope you all had a great holiday and have a wonderful prosperous New Year!!!
