15 Months

Last Friday Gavin turned 15 months old!! Holy cow! Where has the time gone? On Monday I took Gavin to the doctor for his 15 month check-up. He had grown almost 2 inches and has lost .1 lbs. Not good. When we took him in for his 12 month check-up he was just getting over being really sick with a stomach bug so his weight was low then and now he weighs a little less than he did then!!! The doc was slightly concerned but figures he is probably just not getting enough calories. The other thing he was concerned about was that Gavin's body was not absorbing the things it needed to. He asked me many questions about Gavin's poop and now I find myself examining his diaper everytime he poops!! Is it too runny? Is it oily? Oh my goodness...the things us moms do! Anyway, back to the matter at hand. We have to go back to get him weighed in 1 month to see if he has gained. So the doc said to start feeding him more meals per day and supplementing with Pediasure. We were already having a hard enough time getting him to eat 3 meals a day. How in the world am I supposed to get him to eat more?? I also went and bought some Pediasure and he hates it. I have even tried mixing it in with a shake and he won't drink it. So any suggestions or advice you could give would be greatly appreciated! I am a worry wart by nature and am kind of starting to get a little anxious about it!! Where's the Xanax...just kidding, kind of! Oh and for good measure here is a pic of him I took a couple days ago. Doesn't look like a picky eater in this pic and he has awesome hair!!! Such a silly boy!

My Furniture Re-do

When we got married my grandma was getting rid of an end table and offered it to us. As we had hardly any furniture we of course snatched it up thinking that we would replace it with something eventually...it was a little dated! That was almost 5 years ago and we have yet to replace it. I have also fallen in love with it. You see it has doors on it and you can store things inside. It is quite amazing how many toys I can cram in there!! So I decided I couldn't get rid of it and since it was already pretty ugly I figured I would try to refinish it. I am actually pretty pleased with how it turned out! What do you think?
