More Pictures of Sam

Aunt Melly wants more pictures so we took a few in one of his new outfits -- okay most of his outfits are new. He's moved up to the three to six month clothes. It looks like some of them won't fit him for long because he is so tall. Maybe he'll start growing out instead of up for a while.

We went to our follow up with the doctor yesterday. Sam gained almost a pound in a week so he's moved up to the 14th percentile. From weighing him after every feeding for a week, it looks like he is only getting 18oz per day of breast milk. The doctor wants us to supplement from 5 to 10 oz of soy formula every day too. Our goal is to gain an ounce a day until he catches up. We won't go back to check his weight again until his four month check-up. She doesn't want us to stop breast feeding because it decreases his chances for diabetes and IBS which both run in our family -- along with numerous other benefits of breast feeding for both Sam and me.

Sam and I went to the movies yesterday, the Cry-Baby-Matinee, to see Little Miss Sunshine. It was hilarious! Sam looked around the whole time. He didn't fall asleep until the credits started rolling. He didn't fuss either though. We met a couple other moms there and had lunch after the movie.
