Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy
Those are the words of a song Bodie learned at daycare that he is always walking around singing and fits Barrett's doctor appointment today.  At Barrett's 3 week doctor visit today he has grown 2 inches (now 22 inches, 75th percentile).  He weighs 8 lb 15.5 oz (naked - we paid attention this time).  The pediatrician wanted him to be 9 ounces above birth weight and Barrett was 11.5, which is great!.  His weight is only in the 45th percentile.  It is definitely a change from Bodie who was always in the 90s for height and weight during his first year.  His head is also only in the 40th percentile.  I knew his head was little but I didn't think it was that small.  Hopefully he won't look like he has a disproportionately small head as he gets bigger.  So I think I'm done worrying about weight gain.  Obviously we are doing somethings right in that area.  Our next adventure will be to introduce a bottle, hopefully this weekend.  I just need to find some time to pump but Barrett is so erratic in his eating I am afraid if I pump he will want to eat again soon after that.  He usually sleeps well in the morning so I guess I need to stop being lazy and pump first thing.  It is just hard to get out of bed to get that done :)
