Little man had his 15 month checkup on April 23. I was nervous that such a picky eater would have fallen off his growth curve. Sure enough, he went from 25th percentile down to 8th percentile. I was thinking of ways to add heavy cream and fat to all his meals, but when the pediatrician came in, it turned out that the nurse had just plotted his weight wrong on the growth curve. He's still actually 25th percentile! The numbers are:
Weight: 22 pounds 14 ounces (25th percentile)
Height: 31 1/2 inches (60th percentile)
Head circumference: 19 inches (85% percentile) (His head is bigger to hold his extra-intelligent brain :)
He is still a sweetie. We're anxiously awaiting some new words. He does blow kisses and wave "Hi" to strangers. The pictures are him drawing with his first set of crayons. Apparently toddler crayons are triangular now. The middle pics are a father/son trip to the zoo while I was working today. The last pic is Carter playing with his bath letters his ZeZe bought him.
CWH gives good hugs, and still wants mommy to rock him to sleep. I am a little embarrassed to say we still use the bottle at times, but it's the only way to get milk into him. Otherwise, he will occasionally sip from the sippy cup, and the milk gets warm and I wonder if it's still good, and spill-proof isn't really spill-proof.

OMG--my favorite picture is the one of him with his face sticking out of the hole!! Super cute little Carter!!!
That is one cute kid! We have the opposite problem with Ian's head - it's tiny! Somewhere around the lower 25%. I just keep telling him "it's all about quality, not quantity!"
