Update

I didn't realize until today that it has been so long since my last post. I don't even know where the time went. I guess time flies when you're having fun!

So here's a quick update on what has been going on:

Zoe had a checkup with her Gastroenterologist. We're just keeping this doctor in the loop because a lot of RSS kids have stomach issues and we want to make sure he completely understands Zoe's growth issues incase she develops a problem. It's worth the copay every 4 months. Anyways, it was a good visit. Zoe now weighs 15lbs 8oz!!! This was a huge leap for her and is very, very exciting. I mentioned to the doc. that it seemed like Zoe's appetite had flatlined so he is having us give her a bigger dosage of her appetite stimulant, Cyproheptadine. She is definitely eating more now. In fact, she never stops eating. It's great! She eats her three main meals and snack in between. I always have snacks laying around for her and she's like a little vacuum. She just crawls around and eats the up! We also started adding heavy cream to her milk. It has a lot of calories so hopefully that'll help her grow a little bit more too.

Zoe's Endocrinologist called with the results of her recent blood work. Everything is normal. We expected it to be but it's still cause for celebration.

We finally have moved up to a size 3 diaper. Boring information, I know, but it's kind of a big deal around here.

Zoe decided about a week ago to crawl down the stairs. It was as if she knew how to do it this whole time but finally decided it was time. That's how it was when she started crawling too. Maybe that's how it will be when she finally starts to walk!

Okay, that's all for now. Here are a few pictures:

Lisa and I found a bike path to run on while she was here. We took this picture to show off how dirty our legs got. :)



The kitchen sink is still the best way to clean Zoe after really messy meals!
