Cash doesn't know what team to cheer for so he wears the Ole Miss shirt and Bear Bryant hat. I am working hard with him on the Hotty Toddy chant and hoping to have it ready for the Ole Miss/Alabama game. He had his 18 month doctor's appointment and he measured in at 29 lbs 10 oz, 29 3/4" and 48 1/2 cm head. The doctor talked to me about growth hormones because he is still below the growth curve, but I have opted out of even going further with discussions on it as of now (she said if he starts to plateau then we will have to discuss it more, but she is fine with my decision as she comes from a short family too). My thoughts are we are short, our kids will be short, everyone in our family is short it's hard to get away from it and if there's no other reason for the discussions then his height then we feel he will have the self confidence to succeed in life if the need changes then just his overall height we will discuss it further and go from there. So needless to say he is great and has hit all the marks he is suppose to at 18 months. He's starting to really get his own voice and definitely is not afraid of letting it be heard (usually while we are out at a store). I have had to start time out with him...the problem though is he enjoys it. Here's Parkes and Cash on the time out rug. Parkes was sent there and Cash happily followed and sat down. I might need to come up with a new game plan.
We had another important doctor's appointment this week for Parkes. If you read this then you are family and friends and know we have struggled with the bathroom with Parkes for about a year and a half now. It has definitely been the hardest challenge of parenthood for us so far definitely surpassing 4 and a half months of Cash being colicky and not sleeping (I'm know there will be harder challenges to come and we are so blessed that these are our only problems). We've got some hard and slow work ahead of us to help him, but the doctor did know what his issues were and doesn't want to jump right into invasive measures to scare him more then needs to so hopefully we will get some progress this weekend and get to then start towards fixing the problem after that.
