The skinniest baby award goes to... ERIC. Apparently he is only in the 3% for his weight (15 pounds 13 ounces). Found that out today at his doctors appointment. I haven't taken him since November since I didn't have any insurance since Larkin changed jobs. Anyway I get to find out today he has a bad ear infection. Eric is so happy you wouldn't know he is sick. He is 50 % for height and 75% for his head size. So then the doctor is asking all the questions about Eric. Does he eat solids etc. etc. Which he does everything she asks about except he doesn't crawl because he doesn't want to. SO I get all freaked out and decide I'm going to feed Eric until he pukes. It will be called OPERATION GROW ERIC A BUTT. Yeah he has my butt. As in lack of one.
So I get home and start on my mission. I feed him a toddler container of chicken noodle veggie stuff. He's pretty excited. After he's done with that he still seems hungry. So I feed him a toddler container of cheese shells. He's still chewing so I try to feed him something else. Large baby jar of spaghetti. Well by the time he is at the end of the jar he doesn't seem so excited about food and is a lot less interested. So then I give him a cookie and go look on the internet to see medical reasons my kid might be tiny. I've pretty much ruled out a heart condition, diabetes, etc. But the whole cystic fibrosis thing sounded distant possible. It didn't help that Eric has been congested and coughing lately.
At that point I'm depressed lay down with Eric for a while and boobify him for a while. Then it hits me. I'm going to call in the big guns.
I call Granny.
Granny loves to feed Eric. So we show up and I explain the whole OPERATION GROW ERIC A BUTT thing and you can tell she's excited and yet wondering what took me so long. So he eats a whole banana. Then she brings in the baby cereal. After that is the apple sauce. Later I thinks she sneaks in some more baby cereal. He boobifies for a while and then I take Megan to dance class.
When I get home Larkin claims Eric already looks bigger than yesterday. I'm almost embarrassed to say this but Eric seemed real happy today. Oh and he had a lot more energy than usual. So I feed the poor kid more food and now he is in bed. :P
Hopefully he gains weight. Otherwise I'm just getting him ready for a heart attack for no reason.
