Fifth Percentile - Yet Again!!

Today Shane and I took Camden for his weight check, and to be honest I had felt like he was looking like he had put on some weight, so was eager to see how the numbers panned out. Well, he weighed 12 pounds 14 ounces and was 25 3/4" long. So he is up to the 50th percentile for height, but is still 5th percentile for weight. UGH!!! So she yet again is increasing his calories. Now, we are to mix his formula so that he gets 24 calories per ounce instead of the 22 calories per ounce we were doing. I asked her about his feeding regimen and she said that we can start feeding him cereal twice a day for a week or so and then add in Stage 1 fruits or vegetables, which ever we would like to try first. So I say, bring on the calories!! Right now he only eats about 6 to 6 1/2 ounces every four hours or sooner if he is hungry and she would like him to get closer to 30 ounces a day. We were feeding him every 3 hours, but he got to where he would not eat that soon and would play with the nipple or spit out the milk, so we lengthened the time. When we told Dr. McGiffert that, her first question was if he was still sleeping well at night. We told her we had no problems in that category, and were still very blessed that he sleeps anywhere between 11 and 12 hours a night. I think she was surprised!

Here are a few pictures of what Camden has been up to this week.
