Aron - 3 months old

This little guy has been through quite a bit in his 3 month of life in comparison to his siblings.  We went to his 2 month well-baby doctor visit and found that he had actually lost one pound.  The pediatrician referred us to an endocrinologist to get him checked further.  Having an inkling already that my milk supply was low we asked the pediatrician if we should start supplementing with formula.  She was not optimistic that it would help, but gave us the thumbs up.  So, in the meantime we did begin supplementing and saw noticeable differences even in the first couple of days and by the time his endocrinologist appointment rolled around (2 weeks later) he had gained a whole pound back.  The endo. doctor did want us to go ahead and get bloodwork done just to be safe.  Long story short, he had his endo. follow up appointment and all the tests came back normal and he had gained 3 pounds from the time of the last endo. appointment.  We can't thank everyone enough for your prayers and words of encouragement.  God is so good!!!

I call Aron Mr. Smiles because he seems to smile the majority of our day.  He loves hugs from his big Brother which is a good thing because Ben likes to give lots of hugs.
