Monday visit with Dr. Meyers

We took Colton to his first dr's appointment today with Dr. Meyers and Sulley conveniently had her two week check up at the same time. Colton received a gold star and was even complimented on his "great muscle tone." Those "Allen calves" are already apparent on his tiny little legs. Colton Chubster Allen tipped the scale at a whopping 5lbs 5 oz, while Sulley is behind at 5lbs 2oz. Sulley had a great check as well but Dr. Meyers informed us that she's not gaining weight as quickly as she'd like to see; therefore, she recommended that we add teaspoon of rice cereal to her bottles!! The first try didnt go so well, i mixed the cereal with half milk and half formula... Sulley quickly spit it out and even tried to push the bottle out of my hand. When i mixed the cereal with all milk, she took it down in her normal hungry animal fashion. The funniest part is though it seems as if Sulley's taste buds have suddenly changed because all of the sudden, she refuses to drink just Pregestimil. Honestly, i can't blame her at all, i wouldn't want to drink something that smelled like burnt broccoli either... at any rate, this makes our lives easier because we can keep a huge vat of milk/formula mixture in the fridge.

We ended our day with a walk through Shirlington and stopped by the Teeter for a few things. The most challenging part was pushing our "train" of a stroller up the hill home. I seriously thought we were going to have to call for back up. I guess i won't be making that stroll much by myself and if i do... for those that live in the area and travel through shirlington, please keep an eye out for me as i may be one day calling you for a tow home.
