Parker turned 18 months old on June 30, 2010. He went for his 18 month old well-visit on Tuesday, July 5th. He really wanted no part of being at the doctors office, which was a first for us. He was NOT going to be weighed no matter what we did. From the few seconds he would lay on the scale we determined his weight to be around 21 pounds. The nurse asked me to measure him thinking that might help him to calm down, but NO WAY! I estimated him to be about 31 inches. I am sure neither of these measurements are accurate, but close enough.
We talked to the pedi about his eating or not eating habits. The pedi said that we are doing everything we can and since he is gaining and growing we can't complain. He suspected it could be a case of a "texture issue." The pedi suggested that we have "acceptable alternatives" and "non-acceptable alternatives". I am sure you can figure this out. Things like yogurt, PB crackers, glass of milk are okay, but not cookies, cake, and ice cream. Our journey continues!
