Cousins!

First off, I want to apologize for not updating my blog recently. We have been extremely busy with remodeling a few rooms in our house, and unfortunately I have not really sat down at the computer for a while. Alexander is doing very well right now. We had an appointment with the Pediatrician a few weeks ago, and she was extremely concerned about Alexander's weight. He had dropped below the first percentile, which is NOT good. We are trying really hard to prevent a G Tube, and she recommended substituting Pediasure for his milk (more calories in the same volume). Therefore, he now gets 24 ounces of Pediasure a day, instead of milk. His Nutritionist came this week, and in two weeks he has grown 1 inch and gained 7 ounces! So, we are back on track and very excited about his weight and height (though his height has never been an issue). It looks like Pediasure is going to be our new best friend!

Moving on to some fun we had this month...
One thing that makes Alexander very happy is his baby cousin, Mikayla! He absolutely loves everything about her. It is so funny when he sees my sister Allie because the first thing out of his mouth is BABY. This past month we were able to go to Chuck E Cheese with Mikayla! They had such a blast when my mom and I took them, so we went back again with my sister too! It actually worked out perfect because the two of them were able to squeeze in to the little rides together and help support each other. They are so good with each other, and we couldn't be happier that they already get along so well! It is nice being able to have another little one for Alexander to play with! Alexander loved all the rides, but I think his favorite was playing skeeball. We took him right up there with his stroller, and he would hold the ball as I helped him roll it! He loved it, and did it again and again and again! We had a blast and can't wait to go back!

Here's a couple pictures of the fun they had together!
