Packing on the Pounds (or Ounces)

As I'm sure many of you can tell by the pictures, the NG tube is doing it's job.  The 24/7 feeding schedule has helped Grant to (finally!) gain weight at a pretty good pace.  I weighed him this morning, and he's right on the cusp of 12 pounds.  I'm noticing the wight gain most in his face and thighs.  He's starting to fill out his clothes so much better, but I never thought we would get so many months of wear out of the 0-3 months size. 

Tomorrow is Round #4 of treatment, so if history repeats itself, he'll be a sleepy guy for the next few days.  While he rests off the chemo, I'll be busy preparing Armenian rice pilaf for Alexa's school.  They don't celebrate Halloween at Montessori, but rather have International Day at which the kids represent their nationality through clothing and at a potluck lunch.  It's a little too hard to represent the Dutch-Swiss-German side, so we're going with the 50% Armenian.  And yes, for those of you who know me well, I will be using real butter (not 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter') for the pilaf ;)

Always wanting to stand...he's going to be an early walker.  Lucky us ;)
