Oliver had his 15 month check up and shots this week. Poor baby! He did well with the shots (only cried when she stuck him, then he quit pretty quick), but his vx (vaccine) shot site is a hard lump now and he acts like it's pretty sore. :-(
The other thing we found out is that he's LOOSING weight! Yikes! He was 28 lbs at 1 year, but only 24 this month. 4 pounds lost in 3 months might not sound like a big deal, but when you only weighed 28 to begin with...At the 12 month appt he was 31 inches (97th %) and 28 lbs (80th %), this month he's 33 inches (97th % still) and 24 lbs (50th%). Our doctor isn't too worried, but wants to be sure it's just due to his CONSTANT activity. So, he's on a "high-fat" diet for the month which consists of things like full fat yogurt instead of low-fat, any kinds of cheese, avocados, bananas, etc to get him to gain some weight. Only one problem-he's hit an "I'll only eat fruit and cereal" stage. He absolutely REFUSES to touch half of the things we've been trying to get him to eat (he sticks his little hand out like "talk to the hand", pretty funny!), but we are being stubborn about it. We were really good about setting a schedule of 3 meals a day with 2-3 snacks, but now he's having to snack all day to get any of the foods he doesn't like down. Regular meals are out the window. So much for being consistent!
Still, all in all, he's a very healthy boy...We just need to get some meat on his bones!
New Oliver cuteness:
*You say "Suck in your tummy Oliver" and he starts pulling his tummy in and out like a belly dancer
*He spins on command until he is so dizzy he starts walking crooked
*He'll walk backwards until he gets to Loki and then tries to sit on him. He usually misses (thank goodness! Poor Loki...), but it sure is funny to see him shuffle backwards while looking over his shoulder, PLOP, then listen to his peals of laughter when just misses the cat
*His "best" word, the one he knows cold and will ALWAYS say when he sees them or gets to play with the wand, is BUBBLE
Love my boy!
