James' 18 month check up was about a month ago, but I forgot to update you guys. So, here we go:
Weight: 21 lbs 1 oz (below 5th %)
Length: 29 in (below 5th %)
Head: 19 in (25th %)
Doc was a little worried about his not gaining weight, but what can you expect from a kid that doesn't like to eat? We're supplementing with some Carnation instant breakfast in his milk to give him some extra calories and stuff.
Dr. Amy sent us to the eye doctor because she thought he had a lazy eye. My first thought was, "Dang it, another specialist!" Gigi and I took him to Austin to the Pedi eye doc. Everything is fine. His eye is a little weird, but there's nothing wrong with it. It looks slightly different (most people will never see it), but it won't affect his sight.
Every day is a challenge getting him to eat, but we're still working on that.
He is so smart and talks all the time. He comes up with new words every day it seems. His favorite words are Mommy, puppy, and of course Bapplejuice. He woke me up this morning saying, "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy..." That's the best wake up call ever!
I have never noticed his "weird" eye.
