11 Months December 11, 2007
Adam turned 11 months old yesterday. I took him in for his growth check appointment last Friday, and he’s up to 21 lbs even and 30.5″. His height looks great, still 75th percentile. He is dropping down in the percentiles some for weight, but he’s still gaining so the ped says he’s doing fine. The GI can really just kiss my ass with his “falling behind” BS.
We’re still having a tough time with the solids, and it’s very much an on again/off again trial and error type situation right now. It’s really hard not to get frustrated about it, but I’m trying. Sometimes I just feel like the clock is ticking. I mean, what happens if we get to the one year mark and he still can’t tolerate solid food? I just have to make myself take a deep breath and take things one day at a time.
I asked his doctor at the appointment on Friday what to do about solids, reflux, etc, and he fully admitted that he didn’t know. He said he has yet to figure Adam out. He gave us a referral to a new GI who is supposed to be really good. I called to get an appointment and because Adam’s a new patient for this doc we couldn’t get an appointment until March 4th. Thankfully our pediatrician called and got them to get us in sooner, so our appointment is now scheduled for January 8th.
We put up our Christmas tree this past weekend, and Adam seems to be enjoying it as much as we are. Dan and I have lived together for almost 12 years, and this is the first year we’ve ever had a tree. It’s very special to be sharing the experience with our little guy.
And speaking of special, I don’t even think I can put into words what it means to me to have three stockings hung on the mantle this year. We’ve waited so long, and I’m so very thankful that this is the year.

Your mantel with the word JOY and the three stockings says it perfectly. Baby also seems to enjoy the goodness which is the Christmas tree decorations. Wait until he sees all of that luscious paper that wraps his presents! I guarantee you that is what will interest him most this year.
Enjoy this Christmas! So wonderful!!
