Wow, you parents have had to learn to be brave to do this stuff! I will be so interested to hear about "food camp" when Anna qualifies.Katherine T.

And it is true. Some kids are simply small and some are simply big and there is nothing wrong with that. I always get a chuckle out of the fact that my 3yr old weighs what my 1yr old "should" weigh!<br /><br />Julia,<br /><br />Thank you again for the sweet encouragement! I truly appreciate it. And I am sure you understand what accepting a "new reality" is like. Anna's tube and all that goes with it has become routine. And I am thankful for that!Jamie Carin and Claudio Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152021172290149801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35968210.post-57148181392168314682011-02-12T07:21:26.222-05:002011-02-12T07:21:26.222-05:00You know what I like best about this?

You're working with reality, and although it's not what you expected, you've accepted it. Thanks for the great example of courage.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668252458131596362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35968210.post-21099009693614458282011-02-12T00:57:55.666-05:002011-02-12T00:57:55.666-05:00The point about maintaining a growth curve is key....The point about maintaining a growth curve is key. This is the only thing that saved my son from the label of "failure to thrive". He never made it above the 5th percentile until he was 2.5. And he actually did drop his curve around 10 months, when he fell from the 3rd percentile to the 1st. But they luckily didn't label him FTT because they said it was common to drop at that age due to increasing mobility. (I still think, though, that if he had been a breastfed baby, they would have freaked out at his size and encouraged me to supplement).clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825209285764698585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35968210.post-80117478167108978762011-02-11T22:10:16.640-05:002011-02-11T22:10:16.640-05:00Oh I just learned so much!
