The Difference One Year Can Make

This was Jayden with his GG and bball the day of his 1st birthday party. He was 23lbs and a few ounces at his 1 year appointment. And...a year later he has only gained 3lbs.

Here is Jayden on his 2nd birthday. He's gone from simply eating his basketball to running while dribbling. His motor skills have developed normally but he hasn't gained enough weight. At one point in this past year he dropped into the 10th percentile for weight. So, after trying just about everything to get him to eat and being constantly discouraged the dr. put him on a medicine that would increase his appetite...IT WORKED! He had no appetite before and now he eats like a normal very picky toddler. Still not where we want to be but SOOOO much better. Taking him back for a weigh-in next week. Keep ya posted...
