18 months!

This is almost a month behind now, but our little man is 18 months old already!  

Isaac had his 18 month check up with his pediatrician Friday.  Overall, he is doing great, but he did not gain any weight since his last checkup in a month.  His growth chart is a bit at a plateau and he is very small for his age in both weight and height.  He has become a very picky eater and we are a little concerned. We just want to know we are doing everything we can to help him reach his maximum growing potential.  This is an area that I hope and pray to see much improvement in and one we will continue to work on.  

On another note, I must add that he really has been surprising us lately with great milestones.  Just today he rolled for the first time ever from his back to his tummy on the floor without any support!  He then proceeded to push himself up on his hands and knees.  He tried so hard to sit up from that position but his little legs got in the way.  He has no feeling from his waist down and his legs are very floppy so we help him to move his legs around to get into a sitting position.  He must watch us do this because he touched his leg like he knew he needed to pull it around. If he would have had the strength to lift his leg with his arms he would have accomplished getting into a sit on his own! 

  His vocabulary is growing and he is very loud.  He has changed from calling his big brother from "bubba" to "Babe" (Gabe).  He knows what the dog, cow, duck, frog, and cat say.  His favorite word is no and is not afraid to use it.... alot!   He knows his family and calls us, mom, dad, Bapaw (for Papa), Mimi (for Grammy), Pap Pap (for Pap Pap) and Mum (for Grandmummy).  

I look forward to seeing what changes and growth will occur in the next six months!  If you are looking for a specific prayer for Isaac, he could use some extra prayers that he has improved feeding and growth.
