The Daily Matters

Casey took the vaccines pretty nicely. He only cried for a short time. As usual, his dad had him on his lap as I can’t really take looking at the syringe needles poke on his shoulders. He’s a little behind on his shots because of our vacation last winter but he is catching up on it. Next month he will have another appointment for the next regular 18th month check-up. Boy, he is getting bigger.

Although, he only gained 7 ounces since the last month’s weight check and I succeeded on weaning him. Once again, the doctor stressed out that he needs to take in some milk in other forms of food or products that have milk contents since we raised the concern that Casey doesn’t like cow’s milk. It’s important that he gets the nutrients from the milk that he couldn’t get from any substitute. Other than that though, he is on the right track of his growth chart.

Right after the doctor’s we went grocery shopping and got some good stuff paying attention on Casey’s needs. We got more baby yogurt for him. It would be interesting to find out if he is going to like milkshake since we bought him ice cream to mix with milk as what the doctor suggested. I just have to continue trying on giving him these kinds of dairy products just so he can keep up with the ideal required calories for toddlers his age. That’s pretty much it for today.
