Back on the charts

A bit of good news this rainy Friday: our doctor visit this morning weighed James in at 16 lbs, 6 oz - which places him officially on the growth curve. He's in the smallest 3%, but he's on the charts at last! At 28 inches, he has officially grown out of his car seat. Time for more shopping...

He's also back on the tube, mostly because the flu kept him from eating his usual amount so we had to keep him hydrated via the feeding pump. The fact that he was off the tube until just this week, and still gained weight, is a great sign. It's very possible we'll be packing the tube away for good soon :) Today was our first visit to Weill-Cornell in 7 weeks, and it actually looked different. (It's amazing how cool renovations appear when you compare 2-month intervals instead of weekly ones.)

We are all excited about the arrival of spring, the increasing independence from the tube, and a much lighter doctor schedule. We have the time and flexibility to get out more, accomplish more, and look forward to new endeavors in coming months!
