Finally a good doctor's appointment!

Ahhh! What a relief. We got some great news today at the doctor's office-- little Kean gained 1 pound and 1/2 an ounce. That may not sound like huge news, but trust me, it is. A month and a half ago, we found out his thyroid was not working and the little guy was falling off the growth charts and quickly. So since then, our lives have revolved around eating and keeping him regular. And let me tell ya, it's been a bit stressful. But now we know, it's working. He only grew a quarter of an inch in length, (in a month), but hey, we'll take it and keep our fingers crossed he won't be the first pygmy in the Barker/Leavitt family lines.
On Monday we spent an hour meeting with a dietitian at the hospital. After today's good report, maybe, just maybe, we won't have to go back if he keeps this up.
So here are his stats: he is almost 15 months old and he weighs 17 pounds point 5 ounces. And his length is 26 and 3/4 inches long. His mop of hair probably accounts for at least a pound of that weight!
