It has been a long time since I've done an update! With the holidays and my mom and brother visiting (plus the mutant snow storm in Philly) I've gotten slack. Sorry! :) Also, it's becoming harder to write with Gabe being more mobile and needing near constant interaction.
Gabe had his 18th month appointment on Monday and it went well. But he did not want to be checked out at all and gave us a hard time. Totally freaked and cried during the check-up, but he recovered quickly when it was over. He is a little over 22 pounds, but I cannot remember the height. He is in the 75th percentile for height and the 5th percentile for weight; that has been his pattern since he has been born, tall and lean.
We really like his pediatrician, Dr. Gibbons. She is very down to earth and knowledgeable. The practice, The Natural Childbirth and Family Clinic, is somewhat of a hike being in Northeast Portland (we are Northwest), but the next time he'll go will be at 2 yrs. and then after that, yearly, so we're okay with the distance.
Gabe's teeth seem to be stabilizing. I think the intense brushing, cod liver oil, wheat germ and getting more nutrient dense foods in him are helping. He is still picky; doesn't like eggs or meat (unless really mushed), but eventually I think he will try them.
Look for Christmas pics in a day or two! Let's see if I can do it before January is over! LOL
