End of Intern Year!

So Baker's intern year is over (well, it will be in the next few days). We went to a very fun resident graduation dinner, here we are!



We had a great time and it was so fun to get dressed up and have a date!

The kids are doing well. Grayson seems to have gotten over his ear infection and is finally eating well again. He lost a little weight there from not wanting to eat! He's now up to 17lbs 10oz so I am not so worried anymore. Still a little guy but that puts him a full pound heavier than his brother was at 1 YEAR. I am impressed. Maybe Grayson won't be so tiny?

Trig is doing well, too. We finally convinced his family doc to put him on appetite stimulants and it was an overnight success, literally. He tries new things and can even eat with a spoon and fork. Craziness. So clearly it is a hunger issue, not a behavioral issue so I cancelled speech/feeding therapy. That will be easier on our pocketbooks for sure. Anyway he has gained a full pound and change since he started appetite stimulants and it has only been about 2 weeks.

Trig also said goodbye to ECI - no more speech, physical, dietary, or occupational therapy. He has caught up and is no longer eligible. YAY for my little Triggy! We knew he would catch up.

The area that he is NOT catching up is height and weight. Before he started appetite stimulants, he had neither gained weight nor gotten taller in 4 months. Bad news but perhaps good news for when we go to the endocrinologist and he will see his lack of growth and hopefully put him on growth hormone. Still crossing fingers on that one because I think he really needs it.

Enjoy the cuties!
