quick, quick
milo is now 9 lb 3 oz - a little less than the 10 lbs for which we had hoped, but it's kept him right on the 5th percentile projectory, and as long as he keeps pace with that trajectory, his pediatrician is satisfied. the doc is also pleased with his social development and super-impressed that milo sleeps 6-8 hours a night - apparently we are extra lucky with milo. but then, we already knew that. :)
in addition to his heavenly nighttime sleep habits, he has graduated from the bassinet to his crib, and without batting an eye. one reason may be that we put his aquarium on the crib, which he finds mesmerizing. his first morning in the crib, though, i made the mistake of turning the aquarium on again when i put him back down after his 6 am feeding. apparently, although the aquarium is calming after a busy day, the pulsing lights and sounds are stimulating after a quiet night in the dark. young milo fussed profusely every time it went off, and justin and i kept taking turns getting up to turn it back on (and why doesn't it come with a remote, i'd like to know). finally, i got up and tried to soothe him without turning on the aquarium, which milo found upsetting; he looked up at me and whined, then at the aquarium and whined, then back at me and whined some more. his first direct communication!
now that my mom is here, we have a working computer - but we have no internet access because our provider is out of business. of course. so justin is shopping today for a new provider, and then we can be online more regularly. the next wrinkle (you knew there had to be another wrinkle, right?) is that our camera and my mom's computer are not compatible - so six weeks of fabulous milo-pics are still not available for public viewing. we are seriously technologically challenged at our house.

milo now weighs 1.5 ozs more than Gatito did at birth! thank *god* i had a c-section! :)
Amelia was 3% from one week and is still there. At her six month check-up - after two months of solids, she was still there - and was still there at her 9 month. I talked to LC's and LLL and tried herbs, etc. to increase supply thinking that would do it. But, at her annual check-up - after several months of meat and 3 months of full fat yo baby yogurt every day, she was still in the 3 percentile for weight, although she had gone from 25th percentile to 75th percentile for head and height. So apparently no matter what I feed her with, she is just genetically engineered to be low weight. Like you (and probably your dr.) said, as long as they stay in their percentile and don't drop off, they're fine. (And she hasn't suffered developmentally - she hit all her milestones and has been advanced in fine motor skills all along.) Someone has to be at 3 or 5%, after all. So keep up the good work, don't worry about it and try to just enjoy Milo. I wish I hadn't spent so much time worrying!
so glad to hear Milo is thriving. & looking forward to more Miloliscious pics...
I am feeling seriously Milo-deprived, i NEED MORE PICTURES...
so glad he is doing well!!
Keep growing lad!
I'm so jealous of his sleep habits, you have no idea!
