He's GROWING!

The appointment this morning went well. Judah has gained 2 lbs. and 2 in. since January! He's still not on the growth chart, but he is well on his way to getting there. 6 months, and he'll nail it! He's also finally over 20 lbs.

On a side note...
Dr. D. always comes into the room all business and totally focused on the medical aspect of the visit. Towards the end, however, he makes this shift and goes into personal mode. It's actually kind of funny, but his professionalism is one of the things I admire about him. And the fact that he can shift from total professionalism to personal professionalism. That was a lot of words. Anyway... When he came over to examine Judah h
e was genuinely amazed at how well he's doing. He said Judah's doing wonderful; he's a normal baby now (something only this dr. could get away with!); and "He's doing so well under your watch". Coming from him, these things mean a great deal, and I always leave feeling so good about how we're doing.

The bloodwork went as I expected. It was unpleasant, but because Judah is bigger he's also easier to draw from, so it went pretty quickly. Oh,
and one more thing about growing: Dr. D. had to increase 2 of Judah's medications because of his weight/height increase. First time he's increased the endo. meds since Judah started them shortly after birth. Grow on, Judah:)
