Becoming fat..

Archer went to the dr. For his 9 month check up and he weighed 15 lbs 3oz. The dr. Is worried that he isn't eating enough. He still nurses every two hours but he wasn't eating solids all day.. Just sometimes at night. He isn't all that interested in food unless it is water.. But that doesn't help us! So the dr. had us start giving him formula and feeding him solids every three hours... I hate forcing him to eat! It makes me so sad to see him hate food as much as he does! He will just close his mouth up so tight that I can't get any food in it!! The formula thing isn't going so well! If he gets even a drop of that stuff in his mouth he makes a funny face and gags and spits it out right away! Kabe is so much better than I am when it comes to feeding him.. I get too impatient and I don't like making him unhappy so once he starts to turn his head away I kinda give up feeding him (maybe I'm the reason he is so stinking skinny!!) Kabe sticks it out! I'm getting better.. But I hate to sneak food into his mouth when he is screaming.. But I gotta do what I gotta do!! I feel like he is getting better at eating... At times..... But he loves to move and stand and move some more! He hates being put in a chair and forced to eat.. But this is what it has come down to. The dr said she wouldn't be so worried if he was still getting taller but since that has slowed too that we needed to start feeding him MORE! He is so sweet! About two weeks ago he started being cuddly. He will just lay his head down on your shoulder and snuggle with you. I love it!!! He doesn't stay for long but it's just long enough to say "I love you mom!" Then he is wanting down or to rip my hair outta my head.. But it's cute while it lasts!! He also loves to stand. Without needing anything to pull him up! It's nuts!! He loves to be able to pick something up and stand with it! Then be able to keep his balance long enough to stick that something in his mouth! He amazes me every day! He crawls like a spider monkey! And he is super fast! He also has four teeth now and i think he is getting more because he loves to gnaw on his finger! I love him and the joy that he brings to Kabe and I! He is such a sweet little boy! I'm so grateful I get to be his mom!!
