12 month check-up


Well, we went to the doctor today for his 12 month check-up to find out that Josiah has dropped down to the 5th% in his weight.  That means we go back in another 6 weeks to have a weight check.  It is hard to not get frustrated.  We have been trying to transistion him to table food, but he isn't very into it.  He will eat for so long and when he decides that he is done, then he is done.  The doctor said that depending on where he is in 6 weeks, they might do some bloodwork to make sure his thyroid is fine and some other tests.  I'm trying to not get down about it and hoping that adding whole milk and some other foods he couldn't eat because he wasn't a year yet will help him.  Please continue to pray that he will gain weight between now and then.  Other than his weight, the doctor is very happy with how he is doing.  He is just shy of 32" for his height, so you can see that he is a VERY tall boy! 

We'll keep you posted on how he is doing.  Thanks ahead of time for the prayers.
