Drake had his 4 month check up on Friday and it went pretty well except for one thing. Drake was showing off for the doctor, showing all of his tricks. He was smiling, flirting, talking and growling. He showed her how strong he is and how he loves to stand. He is right on track milestone wise (he rolled over front to back a couple weeks ago - and back to front on Sunday)!!! He is still in the 50th percentile for height but his weight is another issue. I know that he is small, but i thought that he was getting pretty big. I was wrong. At his 2 month check-up he was in the 40th percentile and weighed 10 pounds 6 ounces. Now, he weighs 11 pounds 14 ounces and is in the 5th percentile. He is so-------o skinny! I feel so bad for him. He eats really well, but now the doctor wants me to top him off with formula. Chris and I weren't super excited about that because we didn't want to have to deal with that expense, but that is okay. So we started giving him an ounce to two ounces after each feeding on Friday and every since then he won't stop spitting up. He is pretty much spitting up everything that we are giving him. He is so funny though because he will spit up (a ton) and then smile like everything is fine. Anyways, that is what is going on with us this week. We are just going to try to figure out what formula to give him and how much so he doesn't spit up so much.
P.S. I am planning to post a video soon of him rolling over - so stay tuned!

Don't they have formulas now that are - I don't know the term - the proteins are broken down or something? Does the Dr. think Drake has reflux? No matter what the deal is - he is incredibly cute & good natured!
Can you blame him for being so tiny, he takes after his mom. He is super cute by the way. That smile is to die for!
Hi Jenna!! He may be small but he sure is a happy baby! His talking today at little gym cracked me up :)
