Re: Feeding Question - Double CHIN!

[Guest guest]

Deb - I KNOW I KNOW! He totally is getting a double chin!! I'm

calling the GI doc today to discuss this with him! I don't want him

gaining TOO much weight! We noticed it just yesterday and when we

saw the pictures! LOL

You know - you make me laugh so much - ALL the time. I love it.

Thank you - you are so funny. Igloo, hibernation. My husband could

totally use a chance to hibernate. I'll let him know your offer -

LOL - he could use a vacation! <grin>

hibernate up here over the winter months anyway. He can stay in our

igloo if he likes (cheaper than staying at an igloo near the

airport!!). Our lack of sunshine, grey, cold, dismally short days

lends perfectly to inducing a tremendous sleep euphoria. In fact,

some people actually manage to go to work during this time.....but

we can tell they are really sleeping still!!!!

at all. Sorry, but it's the hibernation thing with me!!

The one with Ian and with the Santa hats?? Geez Ian has a

double chin now!!!! Talk about giving that boy what he needs!! And

who thought the ng tube wasn't warranted??? Look at him!!!!!
