ok, here's his 4 month picture:
wow, can't you see a huge difference! yeah, me neither.and, just to rub salt in the wound, we weighed him today, and it showed only about a 7 oz gain in the past month, which left me feeling just completely defeated and frustrated. he'd gained about a pound and a half between months 3 and 4, and now this.
i just don't know what's going on. luckily we have another month before we see the doc again, and i'm sort of hoping the scale was just wrong.... it had done that before, and they re-weighed him, and got a number about a pound heavier than just the minute before....
i would understand this if he were still throwing up a ton, or acting like he just wasn't getting enough. but he has fat on him, good chunks of chubbiness on his thighs and face, and more often than not he's the one ending feeding sessions, not me. i hear him swallowing a ton, and he's really getting the hang of the rice cereal now... and i know there are much bigger 'problems' that he could have. but for now it's hard not to feel like i'm somehow messing him up.

You know, I think he does look bigger. Not a lot bigger, really, but sort of more grown up and filled out. He seems like he's doing great! Don't be too hard on yourself -- you're doing great, too. (Even on the days when it doesn't feel like it.)
he looks healthy, acts healthy... and he's so much fun. Caleb's doing great - and most of the time, kids grow in "spurts" anyway. You're a great mommy
Hi Jesse, this is Sarah from good old GHS! I just wanted to comment on how cute Caleb is getting. He used to look just like Seb but now I think he's looking more like you. He's a doll! And don't worry about his weight, he looks so healthy and happy. I do admit that I feel a little bad that he still doesn't weigh as much as my cat - I feel bad for my poor flabby kitty, though, not Caleb! Caleb looks just fine. Say hi to Seb for me!
