Cora loses weight but finds her toes!!

Today finds me on the phone with the pediatric cardiologist and trying to find a way to help Cora gain weight.  She is currently drinking 8 bottles of 5 ounces a day at 27 calories per ounce.  This is a pretty high calorie content and yet, Cora has lost a total of 6 ounces from her weight since the beginning of January.  Along with the bottles she is eating baby cereal and fruits and veggies.  I am now going to be adding MCT oil to her formula to see if that helps Cora gain weight.

She has gone from being in the 50% line of the growth chart to the 10% line on the growth chart.  Despite all this worry from those around her , Cora continues to eat with gusto and explores this world she has become so enthralled with. 

In the midst of all this she has found her toes.  In changing her diaper it has become a real acrobatic escapade of trying to be a quick change artist in between the rolling and kicking that Cora does.  the funny part is, she knows that she is making it hard for the changer and smiles with glee when I try to look stern and tell her to lie still.  The little turkey gives me the sign for all done....and then when I reach for the new diaper she is off and rolling again.  Quicker than a cat that's had their tail stepped on, she flips over and starts babbling away.  The baby talk is probably telling me, "See mama, I am faster than you!"

So while I try everything needed to help her gain weight she babbles her baby talk and plays at grabbing her feet.  Who would have thought that feet have a language all their own?
