Our "little"man

Spring is here and so is one of my favorite chores! I love to clean out drawers, put winter clothes away and break out the new spring/summer clothes. Truly it is one of my favorite chores maybe because I can see an end result (not like cleaning the windows to find 3 pairs of sticky hand prints all over them) or maybe because I just love clothes:)


Anyhow, I have been getting out Barry Bretton's old clothes for Brahm. However I have failed to blog before that Brahm is tiny. I mean, I have no idea where this kid came from. All of my other babies were pleasantly plump by the age of 4 months. No, not Brahm. At his twelve month check up, his doctor was really concerned when he didn't even make it on the chart for weight and height. He was in the ZERO percentile and sent me to a specialist to help him gain weight. So they put him on a diet. Basically the diet is anything that is fat, feed it to him. You know like put a scoop of Vanilla ice cream in his milk cup, melt a stick of butter over everything, or cover everything with cheese. If he wants a Milky Way bar for breakfast, Great! Feed him three, you get the picture. Well, he is successfully weighting in at 18lbs after 2 months on the diet. WHOO HOO! So I just had to take a picture of his saggy old britches that I have to roll over to get them to stay up because I just can't believe it. Oh yeah, and these short are his same ones from last summer. Check out the tag, 9M. Man do I wish I could give him 10 of my spare pounds.

He is so little! That is so cute! You want to know something really crazy? Chloe is almost 20lbs. AND she is almost in 18 month cloths! She is only 10 months old!! So funny!

Taylor had trouble gainning weight when she was younger as well. Her diet was a little like your little guy. Almost all her shorts fell down. Now she weighs 27 lbs. Lauren on the other hand weighs almost 24 lbs and fits into most 24months/2T clothes. =)

I am pretty much on the diet Brahm is on, but too bad I don't need to gain weight! :) I wish I was getting all our spring clothes out. We are still in winter!
