As you know, Aaron went back to the endocrinologist yesterday. This time he grew just over a half inch which still isn't up to snuff. A new concern that came up was that in the last 18 months that he has been seeing them, he hadn't gained any weight. And, as they put it, if you don't gain weight, you can't grow. :D So, to make sure that he is getting enough calories to make him grow, we were asked to keep a food diary over the next 3 days of everything that he eats. The dietitian will then review it. So, today was our first day of recording. You can see all that he ate today. I think that he ought to have more than enough calories to be helping him grow!!! :) We are still waiting on his x-ray and lab results to see what our next move will be. Our little Aaron is a pretty good eater I think. Whatever happens, we will be good with. Even if they can't explain his strange lack of growth, that is okay. There are advantages to being small!!!! :) What did you eat today?Thursday, November 05, 2009
What do YOU eat?

Yummy, Yummy! Did he eat his crust?? :) Maybe it wasn't QUITE 2whole pieces of bread after all.
Aaron is a good eater. It shouldn't be lack of calories that makes him little. Maybe his metabolism is just on hyperdrive.
Then again, he was just sick recently. Did you tell them that? Maybe he lost a little weight last week.
WOW--It looks to me like he eats well (and it looks like a pain to keep that log esp. with a newborn!). And healthy! Maybe he needs to have whole milk and higher fat foods? I do not claim to know anything about this though!
whoa! that would be hard to keep up with. You are such a good mommy. Hopefully, they'll figure something out soon!
Wow. I agree--that he's loveable no matter what. :-D
You do NOT want to know what I ate today! That's a lot of work to write everything down. Hope they can figure it out. It does sound like he has a big, strong heart; they way he loves is brothers and sister.
