Calories! Calories! Calories!

Today at our daughter's 9 month appointment (can you believe she's 9 months old?!?), we were again encouraged to pump her full of calories. She remains in the less than 3rd percentile for her weight, and even lost weight in the last four weeks. She currently weighs only 13 lbs, 13 oz.

SOOOOOO...We're adding formula to her cereal for extra calories. We're feeding her cereal with every meal for extra calories. We're even adding an extra bottle to her day for extra calories. Our pediatrician is determined that our daughter will gain some weight in the next couple of weeks. We need to do all that we can to ensure our tiny little girl is as healthy as possible!

On another note, our recent appointments with her dermatologist and ophthalmologist have been very positive. Both specialists are encouraged with our daughter's development. We will have another round of tests and visit to the specialists in December.
