I'm still here! I check in a few times a week and read as many posts as I can. I occasionally reply as well, but it doesn't always work out.
Things are going pretty well. Xander turned 3 months old on Sunday, which blows my mind. He's still a little guy, only weighing 9 lb 10 oz. The doctor said she'd like to see him gain more, so we ordered an electric pump and I'm going to replace half or more of his feedings with pumped milk. He's a bit of a lazy eater and tends to get upset after my first let down stops because he wants the milk to keep flowing, but just isn't willing to work for it.  Seriously. I hoped he'd outgrow that, but he just didn't... He'd eat good 2-3 times out of the 7+ feedings I gave him, but he'd be a lazy butt the rest of the time. But he's more than happy to gulp down a big ol' bottle because it's easy. I still want to nurse him and he likes to comfort nurse at night, so we won't replace them all. The doctor mentioned the f-word (formula), but that just isn't an option as far as I'm concerned. He's still a very healthy baby and I'm sure once we supplement some pumped breastmilk he'll catch right up with his weight.
Otherwise, he's great. Hitting all his milestones. He laughs, smiles, coo's, occasionally rolls over from his tummy to his back, holds his head up, and all that jazz. He is more and more fun every day!
Well, he's done nak so I guess I need to get going! lol. Here are a few pictures to tide you all over!

Awwww! He's so handsome! I'm sure he'll be perfectly fine weight-wise! No baby is so lazy they will let themselves starve! I can't wait to hear how much he grows with pumped milk!

Ahh lauren he is SO CUTE!!!
A really good book for you to read if u havent already is:
Amazon.com: Dr. Jack Newman's Guide to Breastfeeding (9781554683499): Jack, Dr. Newman, Teresa Pitman: Books
Since you want to BF exclusively its a good read, and talks a lot about the weight percentages that they use etc. I believe most of the weight charts are based on formula fed babies so even if your baby is on the small end of that scale if he is EBF he would still be doing amazing. well i dont do it justice at all, but that book has a ton of great information.

He is soooo cute!  I have been wondering how you have been doing too. Thanks for the update! Jack has always eaten better when he gets supplemented with a bottle with BF for some of the time. Whatever works!
