PS- Sam had his one year check up on Wednesday of this week. We have a skinny-mini on our hands right now... 20 lbs 8 oz which drops him to the 16th percentile!!! The number sounds worse than it is but we were told to definitely try hard to fatten him up! They told us to feed him 5-6 times a day.... smother everything in butter, oil, sour cream and syrup... high calorie items like potatoes, french toast sticks, ice cream, etc. We also started on whole milk which was no problem at all so hopefully that helps too. Definitely not in this kid's genes to need additional calories so I'm sure it will be short lived, but for now, any ideas or suggestions to help me put some extra meat on his bones would be appreciated! I know, his cheeks are deceiving! : ) Everything else checked out just great! He is a happy, happy one year old!!! Sheesh. : )

Hey, Jenny. My kids were always skinny-minis too. Carson is still just in the 5th percentile. Carson enjoyed high fat avocados sprinkled with salt, waffles with butter and syrup and oatmeal with extra butter and syrup added! YUM! Obviously I ended up eating some of that too! GRR!
He is just so adorable!! He sure looks happy and healthy to me!! :)
Drew was and still is the same way. Whole milk will help a lot, but he like sour cream with a lot of his meals. Good luck!
