3 pounds in a month



I went to see Dr. Brown yesterday and I weighed 12lbs 1oz! The intestinal rehabilitation team was very impressed with my coolness. I have been doing very well and growing like a champ. I have filled out a lot and I don't look like a white Ethiopian anymore. I am still on TPN and tube feeds at night. I will be on both of those for a while since it seems to be working. I am getting excited for Halloween. I have 6 costumes to pick from. Mom bought out all of the stores and we are not sure what I am going to be yet. Mom mentioned something about taking pictures of me in all of them so when I am older we will remember my first Halloween.

Life is good :)

Yea Ben!!! You are growing so big! We are really excited for you. I love watching you smile and giggle in the video.

Tell Mom, if the tube feeding works than great! I deal with it all day long with my kids in school and it is not so bad.

Keep up the great work. We love you!

Hey peanut! But if you keep getting so big, we won't be calling you peanut anymore. Those cheeks! I love those cheeks! JD can tell you that I am a sucka for cheeks!

But, tell mommy that you have a similar problem to Ellen Degeneres. That plant right behind your head needs to be moved! Ha! You have a mohawk! HaHa!

Happy Halloween! See you soon.
Lots of Love - JKJ
