Dylan had his 15 month check-up at the beginning of May. Other than his spitting up issue, he's been doing great. I asked Dr. Sipher if she thought that he could possibly have a milk allergy. His spitting up had gotten worse and we had to up the dose of his Ranitidine instead of weaning him off of it, like we had hoped we would be doing at this point. She said that since we were having a follow-up appointment with Dr. Pickens (his specialist) in 2 weeks, the best way to find out would be to put him on Soy milk or other milk alternative for the next 2 weeks, and see if we noticed any improvement. Guess what? We did! He does great on Soy, Almond & Coconut milks. No spitting up at all. But I wasn't thinking and shared a milkshake with him one day and we were back to spitting up again. So, as long as we keep him away from milk we don't even have to give him his expensive Ranitidine anymore. YAY!!
His 15 month stats:
Height- 31 inches --41%
Weight- 23 pounds 8 ounces --37%
Head- 48 --97% (Yep, he still has a giant head, I guess)
Waving at himself in the mirror
Giving me a cheesy grin
This is the face that he makes when he's trying to make people laugh. LOVE IT!
Seriously, so cute!
