Lilypie 4th Birthday Ticker

Quotable Quotes from Xavier

While Curtis and I were in Las Vegas, Xavier stayed with his Grandmama and Granddaddy and his Mema.

The first day we were gone, Xavier was playing with his Grandmama. The Browns have an old gumball machine in their entryway, and Xavier wanted to play with the "balls" that were inside. Being quite the sorter, Xavier started organizing the gumballs.

He looked at a group of them and said, "Grandmama, those colorful balls make a triangle."

So smart!

15 Month Checkup

Xavier had his 15 month checkup on Wednesday. Always fun, since all of the visits include shots. I think Xavier is starting to associate the exam room with shots - he started whining as soon as we got back there. But, he did good.

So, here are the stats: Weight - 20 pounds, 15 ounces, 8th percentile (he gained less than a
pound since his 12 month visit)
Height - 32 1/4 inches, 80th percentile
Head Circumference - 49 1/2 inches, 95th percentile

So, Dr. Brook recommended that we start giving Xavier a diet supplement (PediaSure or Carnation Instant Breakfast) once a day to try and get his weight up. So, we started that Wednesday and Xavier seems to like it, so that's good. His height and head circ. are still in the high percentiles, so he's growing. His weight just can't seem to keep up with everything else. We will go back in a month or so to weigh him and see how we are progressing.

So, here are some recent pics of my little explorer playing outside, as always!
