I just realized I never posted anything about the boys’ 1 year doctor check up, oops. They had to get more shots this visit and boy did they NOT like it. I think this was the first time they got shots and really protested.
Neither of them have gained a whole lot of weight since their 9 month visit, which is pretty typical for this age. Hayden weighed in at 24 pounds and was 30.5 inches long, and Ian was 20 pounds and 29.5 inches long. They both grew almost 2 inches with Hayden being a whole inch taller than Ian. I think Ian is just going to be smaller than Hayden.
They both checked out great and are developing just as they should. We are slowly switching them to whole milk from formula, and our wallet can’t wait! They are drinking great from their sippee cups and cups with straws. We are going to try giving them milk in their sippee cup 2 meals a day and keep the bottle for morning and nighttime only. We’ll see how that goes!
Ian is eating very well, he will eat anything we give him but Hayden on the other hand has been on a hunger strike. I think the strike is over, but he is just completely picky in what he’ll eat! At this point its mainly bread, crackers, milk and sometimes 4 or 5 bites of baby food. He has been getting better the last few days so hopefully he’ll start eating more and more soon. We think his reflux was the reason he wasn’t eating much a while back. We switched him off Prevacid to Zantac and that’s when we really noticed it. So, we thought it was the zantac causing the problem and we put him back on Prevacid. Since doing that he has been much better, and less fussy. So we think it was his reflux all along. Ian is still on the Prevacid and has failed every time we try to back him off it, even a little. So he will stay on it indefinitely. I think he just got his momma’s reflux, poor guy!
They will go back at 15 months for another check up, and hopefully we’ll stay away from there until then!
