The good news--

He shot up 2 inches in 3 months!!  And now I REALLY need to get that convertable car seat ASAP.   31  1/4 inches/55th percentile.   Head is also right on track.. can't remember those numbers, but it's still right around 35-40th percentile.  No worries there.

The not-so-good news-- 

Weight has dropped down to 10th percentile--21 lbs, 4 oz.  (At the 12 month he was 25th/20 pounds)  But even so, the pedi still isn't too worried about him since he's a picky eater and he just had a big height increase. 

But we need to try some new tactics to get him to eat more.   No more milk between meals.. only with meals now and smaller amounts.  By mealtime, he's not hungry so he doesn't eat as much as he should and it's a big battle.  Having his milk at the dinner table should also break him of wanting it in a bottle, since he's fine with juice and water in the sippies.. just not milk.  Need to break him of the association of milk and sleep time, too.

    I know, I know!  At least I don't have an alarmist pedi. 

    She thinks he looks great and even laughed because he's slighly "orange" from all the carrots he eats.   We just need to get more green veggies in him and lay off the orange a bit and his color will improve.   Right now he eats something orange almost every day.. .so we have to back off on that somewhat.

    Well, he's still growing so that's good in my book! That orange tint must really compliment his red hair! ;-)

    Carla.. it's not like he's an oompa loompa or anything!  But if you stand him next to one of us.. he's noticibly orange. 

    It's kinda been coming on in the past couple of weeks, and I wasn't too worried since I know carrots can do that to you.   With his fussy eating habits, I didn't really want to pull the plug on them.. but I guess I should.  People will talk!!!

    Oh..and that gorgeous auburn hair is slowly getting a bit darker now... I'm bummed!
