My boy is HUGE!

So I just realized that it's been just over three weeks since I last posted! Time sure flies by! I'm in New Brunswick right now visiting family and it seems like I've blinked and our visit is almost over.

As for Nash, we went to Clinic on the 13th of June and I was blown away by his continued weight gain. In my head I was hoping for him to be at lease 17 pounds and when he was weighed he was 17 pounds, 7 ounces! He has jumped from the 10th percentile to the 25th for his weight and in the days since I think he has only continued to pack on the pounds. I can honestly say that my "obsession" with his weight is no longer an issue (at this time) as everyone who sees him can't believe how "thick" he is. I will continue to be curious of his weight but I'm no longer worried about it. We were at the mall the other day and I decided just to carry him from the foodcourt to one store and my arms were tired!

With added weight gain also means his super cute 6-month Carter's summer clothes no longer fit. I bought him these outfits back when we got a hot spell and he's now busting out of everything I got him. He should now be starting to fit into all the clothes that his Nana W. has been sending him from Newfoundland.

Nash hasn't had to be put on any more medications but we have had to increase his enzymes. We have been changing an awful lot of diapers lately so at our last clinic appointment they told us we just needed to tweek something a bit so to increase his enzymes to one and a half per feed and see what happens. After a week we still didn't notice a difference so we were told we could go up to two per feed. When I was packing for our trip it kind of hit me how many pills he takes. In a container there are 100 pills so when it comes down to it, he goes through 100 pills in ten days. That's a lot for an 8-month-old baby and it breaks my heart to think about all the different medications he'll have to take as he gets older.

The following day I was leaving for NB so with a 13+ hr travel day it was nice to not have to change so many diapers! I thought things were going to be better in that regard but since I've been in NB not so much, I'm talking 6-7 poopy diaper changes in one day! I'm not sure what the difference could be so I called and they have made note of it and we'll see what happens in the next week or so.

He has been so happy and has adjusted well to the time change and sleeping in a playpen. He's got the napping thing all figured out and I hope that his routines haven't been thrown off too much. Once we fly back we are only in Calgary for three days and then we're off to Edmonton for 6 days so hope he does as well there as he has here!
