Always going to be little? Or is it just reflux?!

Probably a combination of the two! We had our feeding evaluation today. They asked me to explain why we were there, what Denver was doing with his foods, what he liked to eat, and what he didn't like to eat, and then they let him eat and play with the food! After doing all of this they and I kept coming back to it's probably just reflux that's causing our eating problems. They were very happy with his big variety of food and not being bothered by different textures as this can be a problem with kids. They also gave me lots of good ideas of how I can increase calories in Denver's diet by adding different things to foods and other good snacks that are good calories and maybe a little higher in fat than some things. Once our appointment was over I called our pediatrician and asked for another prescription for Prevacid again and he wanted to see us so we then went to the clinic for an appointment there. They did a weight check and to our delight he is up on the growth chart!!!!!! He's a little above the 3% now! It's funny how this was a HUGE deal to us! Our pediatrician was happy with his move up on the growth chart and decided that we'd start him on Prevacid again and he'd see him back at his next well baby check up which will be with his little baby sister (as he will be 18 months around when she's born and she will have to go in to see our pediatrician a couple days after being discharged from the hospital)! We want to thank everyone for all of their prayers for Denver, for us, and for all the people who have been involved in trying to find a "fix" for our little man! We couldn't be happier that they think this is the only reason he's been dropping on the growth chart. (Sorry I don't have any pictures for this post. I've been too busy working, getting stuff ready for the baby, and running around taking Denver to appt's, etc that I just haven't had time to take much for pictures lately.)

It's awesome that Denver is moving up in the growth chart:) How much does he weight now?

When would we get to see some belly pictures?
