Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! We certainly did. We were able to spend a day with each of our families and have a bonfire with friends. Monday was a glorious, sunny day and we took full advantage of it to do some yard work and play with the kids. Simeon and Felicity were quite keen to have the chocolate my parents gave them (Simeon got a bunny and Felicity got a lamb). Felicity is still too little to eat hers, but she enjoyed playing with it just the same.

Felicity

For the past couple of months we've been back and forth between our family doctor, pediatrician and dietitian with regard to Felicity and her weight (or should I say, lack thereof). When she was born she was 9lbs 1oz; at 8 months she was only 12lbs. This, along with a bad initial consult from the pediatrician, had us very concerned. After a month of worrying and imagining the worst, we're very happy to report that she is doing very well. As it turns out, she's just a petite miss who will grow when she decides and not when we want :) She has gained a few ounces as of her last appointment and she has a great appetite.
We would really appreciate your prayers that she'll continue to gain and we want to praise God that all her test results have come back normal. All the doctors have been great and are supportive of nursing rather than trying to push formula to make her gain weight.
Our little girl is just that...little. And that's okay.
