Get ready to stand up and cheer.
Success is all around us.
Nathan is climbing back onto the growth curve.
Yes, I really am that crazy pediatrician mom who has been carrying around a self-plotted copy of Nathan's growth curve and foisting it upon other people. The flat line that extends out from the weight curve, past his first birthday, and steadily farther from the 3rd percentile is impressive. His height, after "falling off", has continued to increase, parallelling the curve at about the "-1 percentile". So yes, I show it off to draw shocked gasps from pediatricians, embarrassed downcast looks when they hear it is my child's curve we are examining, and not some unfortunate with a rapidly progressing brain tumor.
But now, let us discuss his meteoric rise.
Drum roll . . . . .
In 3 weeks he has gained 1 pound and grown 3/4 of an inch.
God bless Elecare and giant meals of sugar covered strawberries, oatmeal with extra (soy-free, dairy-free) butter, chicken nuggets covered in brown sugar enhanced ketchup, and Mmmmm cold and tasty Rita's Italian Ice.
Oh, and maybe this has something to do with it . . .
