After many weeks of weight checks, forced feedings, and parental worrying, I think we are finally done!! Tyler was a hefty 11lbs 1oz this morning up from 10lbs 6ozs last week. He is eating baby food like a champ and loving his bottles! Finally, he is participating in his bottle feedings instead of screaming! He just got done eating beans and bananas after his weigh in and is not happily sitting with Lexi in front of the tv. This is his new spot, and Lexi never leaves his side. I caught her this morning with her hands under his arms saying "I want to hold him, but he's just too heavy". Thank god he is too heavy!! Those two have developed quite the relationship and I have a feeling it will continue a lifetime! She is his little protector and playmate. The washer and dryer are very happy the reflux meds are working and mommy is very happy we avoided the feeding tube that Dr Brown (aka, u of m gastro, and I think that is an hilarious name for a gastro dr) wanted him to have. He is looking like quite a stud in all his new shorts and summer clothes. Thank goodness he has the weight to fill them!!
The Etue household is carrying on with their summer packed full of fun and family time. With a little surgery thrown in the middle! Mommy is back to work a couple days a week and loving it. Daddy just finished one of two years in nuclear operator school with flying colors (first in his class, I am sure his SMCC teachers would faint!). The girls are becoming more manageable, although we would like the middle one to pee on the toilet! We will be hitting the lake this weekend and give Tyler his first pontoon ride. Happy beginning of summer from the PARTY OF FIVE!!!
