Packin' on the Pounds!













































We took Zeke to the doctor because he had a cold and he weighed a whoppin' 15lbs 10 oz! We were very excited! His ideal weight is 20 lbs, but when he reaches the point of at least being on the growth curve, we can start thinking about weaning him off of the pump at night. Right now he's getting a good deal more than the average 9 month old to help him to catch up so he doesn't have a lot of motivation to eat. His desire is improving, however. Yesterday he took two 4 oz bottles by mouth and today he's had two GOOD solid food feedings by mouth. As you can see from the pictures, he does have an interest in at least PLAYING with the food. :-) Even though it's slow, we are making progress. Please pray for Zeke's continued weight gain and desire to eat.
