Eating, Eating, and Eating.....

I took Emily in for her big weigh in last week and in 1 month she has gained 1 lb and 1 inch in length! Yeah Emily! Fortunately our regular ped agreed with my middle of the road approach to the high fat/high calorie (add butter to everything) diet that our developmental ped suggested last month. When we went to the dev ped for the weigh in I told her what I decided to do and while she was a little reluctant, once she saw the numbers on the scale she was happy. We think that it was actually the transition from 4-6 formula bottles to all table food that really did it. I thought that by giving them all that formula in addition to table food it would bulk them up but really it just filled them up so they didn't eat as much table food. So now the girls that I had originally thought ate a lot are really eating a lot. They still only have two bottom teeth, but they don't seem to have a problem eating anything! Love it!!
