18 Month Dr Appt

Grant's 18 month doctor appointment was today. He is doing pretty well. He is 31 inches long which is in the 15th percentile (more than an inch taller than at 15 months). His head is measuring in the 5th percentile - but a lot of "smarts" are up in that little head :) His weight was 20lbs 4oz - still not on the charts. This is less than one pound since his 15 mo appt and absolutely nothing in the past month (we had him in a month ago for an eye infection.)

This is very frustrating for us. He hasn't gained anything this past month - but he's had a virus (making his eyes all goopy), a front tooth come in, an ear infection, a reaction to his ear infection meds and last - tonsilitis. If you can imagine how he has been feeling - would you want to eat? I have to keep reminding myself that I probably wouldn't.

He was all clear in his ears and throat when he was checked out today - so hopefully we stay that way for a while. He also ate a great supper! It's a start - now we just stick with our hih calorie foods.
