Boston went in for his six month well child check today. Here is the news: he is little. I must not produce calories in my milk or something...I don't know, but the doctor told me we need to try to increase his calorie intake. I asked her how since he won't take a bottle and it boils down to feeding him the baby foods with the highest calories. Easy huh? Baby food has no calories I went to the store and the highest calorie one I could find was prunes???? SICK!!! I don't think I would even eat those. But we will give it a try. Here are his stats:
Head Circumference--16.7 inches 13%
Weight--14.09 lbs 2%
Height--26.57 51%
In February when I took him for his four month he weighed in at 13.89 lbs...he has hardly gained any since then. I will work at this. He is still meeting every milestone he should and then some so she wasn't way worried yet. But I am sure if he continues to drop it could become a problem. We will see what happens in three months I guess!!

Careful with the prunes {what goes in may come out just as fast & not do him any good} Taylor was small & she is fine. Not everybody has to be big & fat...silly doctors. Good luck.
Oh goodness. . . don't you worry at all about Boston! Indiana was *always* in the 1 percentile and she is just perfect!
Her and Kendy almost weigh the same right now and Kendy is 10 months and Indiana is going to be three! Some babies are just little and that is OK :)
My mom was always little and I think Indy is going to be just like her!
Wow he is a little guy. Lanon is a chunk! We take him in this next week. How do you do the cute different colors on your posts? I don't know how to do anything still!!!! Im not good at this:)
This is Max exactly. She is 10 months old and weighs 16.1 lbs. She's not even in the 5th percentile. She and Boston can be LITTLE buddies.
Also, just so you know, Max LOVES prunes. LOVES them.
