Does he look chubbier? Because he is! 🙂 Macks had an incredible month filled with so many milestones!
After a month long initiative including weekly visits to his pediatrician and lactation consultant, Macks weight is up! He gained over a pound this month and I was so happy with the results, I left our last weight check in tears (of joy.) He’s eating oatmeal mixed with breast milk in the morning and evening and has either a fruit or vegetable for lunch. That mixed with our regular nursing sessions is what’s helping him pack on the pounds.
It’s funny because as we were working on his weight gain, MacKay picked him up and kept insisting that he was getting heavier. Not wanting to get my hopes up, I just nodded. But sure enough he was getting heavier. I don’t think I could be happier to see those little leg rolls.
And with the weight gain, Macks was also in a hurry to grow up this month. He’s crawling, had his bottom two teeth that sprouted, and is pulling himself up on nearly everything in our house. I mentioned last month he was on the brink of being mobile and boy is he. He will not stop moving. At least he’s keeping me on my toes.
He is sleeping much better and is so happy now that he’s on the move and can go anywhere he pleases. The girls are loving his mobility and are constantly on the floor with him crawling around. Although these moments of him growing are filled with fun, it’s also bittersweet. We love you Macks!
And onto month nine!
