3 Pounds in 7 Days

The VNA nurse was just here drawing blood, and checking vitals on Katie. She also weighed our little pork chop only to discover that the endless supply of food going into her body is not going in without consequences. Last Tuesday, Katie weighed only 24lbs, 5.5oz. Today, she weighs a whopping 27lbs, 1.0oz. That is some pretty incredible weight gain for a toddler of her size.

So far this morning she is having another good day. She woke up bright and early this morning wanting a bagel. Then she wanted toast. Then she wanted pizza. Now she is lying on the couch, quite full at the moment, watching Happy Feet. It took a little convincing to get her away from Dora, but it was worth it.

She was so good for the nurse this morning. She helped the nurse hold the stethoscope to her chest and she even told the nurse, "Thank you for taking care of me". It is so nice to have her positive little attitude back.
