Everyone's Losing Weight & Guess Who's Finding It!

Bean had her 6 month visit this morning, and I had a feeling she was going to come up tiny on the charts - here's where we stand:

Weight: 13 lbs, 14 oz - between 10th-25th percentile

Height: 24 3/4 inches - between 10th-25th percentile

The doctor said to just keep doing what we are doing for now, feeding & schedule wise, and they'll check on her again in a month to see if we need her to gain more weight. I went through the same thing with my son...ugh.

In addition to my daughter being slim, a neighbor commented the other day that our Lab was looking thin & she wondered if he was sick. After taking a second look at the dog, it occurred to me that several people mentioned he was looking thin lately. I took him to the vet yesterday, only to find out he has lost about 17 lbs in 7 months. We switched dog food about that time, and apparently he needs to be eating more of it. At this point they are ruling out any major health problems since he is as healthy & perky seeming as ever - just starving apparently.

And to top it all off, my husband put on a pair of pants this morning that we bought for him just a year or two ago - wouldn't you know it, they were as baggy & loose as ever. Need I say more? I'll just be shuffling back down to the scale, which I keep in the depths of my basement, only to see that it has not moved in weeks from my current weight. Apparently Mama is the only one getting fed around here - sorry folks!
