We all like to call Eli our little bobble head... he has such a long skinny little neck with this little head that bobs around when he gets lazy. He is up to about 12.5 pounds (this was last week)... and it has been hard work to get there. He went through a few weeks of loosing weight and made his mommy panic a little when they threatened to admit him if he did not start to gain. We have suspected he has reflux for a while. It causes him to always sound congested and scream when you go to feed him. We started him on Prevacid when he was loosing weight and think it is really working. He will eat without screaming now, he is still not a big eater but he is back to gaining weight (slowly)... just not going to have a big appetite. The good news is through the whole process he has been a happy little guy... as long as you were not trying to feed him!. To help beef him up we also started solids about 3 weeks ago and he loves it. It is amazing how quickly he took to using a spoon. It has also made his mommy give up on keeping him clean... what a mess!!! Notice we are attempting to hold his hands out of the way and keep him from putting them in his mouth... We have given up on this, now we just strip him down and let him make a mess.
