Nathan's one year appointment

I've been an absent blogger.  I did want to share some background on Nathan's weight issues.
Nathan had a crappy appointment. The doctor isn't happy with his weight. He only gained 11oz since his 9 month check-up. Leaving him under the 5 percentile at 18lbs 14 oz. On the plus he is now in the 25 percentile in height at 28 3/4 inches.

So, I told her that he gags on chunky foods and is a very picky eater w/ textures. So she told me to add butter to everything and to come in for a weight check in 6 weeks. And if he doesn't gain we can talk about seeing a GI. It's kinda bittersweet as I made it to a year exclusively breastfeeding only to find out the fruit of my labors is a scrawny kid. She tells me I need to start supplementing him whole milk. She sounded skeptical about my supply because I told her I don't pump and therefore she says I have "no idea" what I actually have (grr).

Fastforward to today.  He has his check this coming Tuesday.  He kinda looks the same to me. Hopefully he will have gained weight.

He had a good birthday. I only spent two days planning with a 35 dollar budget for decorations. Soooo there isn't much to see. But he was such a party star no one noticed. Here are a couple pics:
