Weight check

Today we went in for a quick 5 month weight check to make sure Kelsie is still tracking along and gaining weight. She weighed 16lbs 1oz and was 25 1/2 inches long! Whoa, I can't believe she is getting so big! She is still trending along on her growth curve at 75th percentile for weight, 50th percentile for length, and 50th percentile for head circumference. I am just so thrilled that her weight is not just good for a CF baby, but above average for any baby! She is still exclusively breastfed and we are holding off on solids until 6 months. She is doing so well on my breast milk alone (which is apparently pretty high-calorie stuff) and her pulmonologist explained to us that in babies with CF, they often see a drop in their weight gain once starting solids, especially if starting them before 6 months. So I am in no hurry to do that! I plan to make her baby food and soup it up as high-calorie as we can! Get ready Kelsie....butter and whip cream are coming soon!
