It's alright to be little bitty

This week, Cole had a serious round of doctor visits--pediatrician, physical therapist, and nutritionist. The consensus: a very engaged, highly observant, cute little character. It seems that sweet Cole must be carrying nearly half his weight in those adorable little cheeks. At a slim 16 pounds and 3 ounces, he doesn't quite register on the regular growth curves. The recommended strategy, however, is one that the rest of us can only dream of--basically, to add fat to everything. Vegetables should smothered in cheese, breads saturated with butter, fruits laden with cream, mashed sweet potatoes mixed with whole milk sour cream, breads spread with nut butters and cream cheese, and the general rule to mix oils and mayonnaise with anything possible! It almost seems like the food pyramid in reverse. Lucky little guy! But, most importantly, while leaner than what makes his gamut of doctors and specialists comfortable--he has 5!--they all agree that he is unquestionably thriving, hitting his milestones, developing the most wonderful personality, and charming literally everyone who comes around.
