Chayse's 18 mo visit
Chayse is 32lbs 6oz and 34"tall he is in the 95th percentile for both height and weight. The Dr said she was a little concerned about the large weight gain from his last visit til' now. Which I honestly don't remember how much he weighed then [I think about 26lbs]. She asked me what his appetite is like and I told her EVERYTHING that he eats and she said she is worried that he is getting all his calaroies from drinking juice and milk [which this is only the 2nd time he's seen this Dr since his left the practice] and wants me to cut him down to 4 8oz bottles/cups in 24 hours! [He still gets a bottle at nap/bed time other then that he drinks from a sippy cup] and only water during the day no more juice. He doesn't drink that much during the day and the last Dr was concerned he may be developing an eating disorder. He used to eat EVERYTHING that was given to him [this pickiness started around 9 months and has cont'd] but she didn't really know about his history with it so I explained. So she is sending him to have blood drawn to test his thyroids. I hope that he won 't have a problem but if he does then I'm happy we'll catch it now
