He really did lose weight!

At the pediatrician today Jerry weighed approximately 18 pounds 5 ounces. He was screaming from the time he saw the building so with him crying and not sitting still it was hard to be sure....but somewhere between 18 - 2 and 18 -5. That means he lost at least 15 ounces in a month. He did have a pretty big drop in consuming formula but was eating a lot more food at that time. Then we tried making 30 calorie formula with just the powder we are using now and he was hardly drinking or eating at all. It seemed to make him feel really full. So now we are going to do a bunch of blood tests to check for absorption disorders, endocrine, or metabolic problems. A little worrisome, but mostly we feel he just had a rough spurt with eating and drinking from teething or something. The doctors also believe that something could kind of trigger a memory of how hard and painful eating had been and make him not eat as much. Today he loved Frito corn chips. He also ate a lot of fruit and a few bites of bagel and pizza, but refused most other food. Now he will be sick for a few days from his shots so we will start over after that and hope he gains back all that weight in a week.
