Dillo's 15 month checkup.

[flea]

He's 25 pounds 2.5 oz, 31 inches, both 50-60%ile, so still running smaller than Casper. She asked if he'd gotten picky in his eating or reduced his food intake and I just grabbed a handful of thigh and said, "Nope!" Looking fine. Had 4 shots and didn't like it; in general was a grump whenever bothered by Dr. Betty (to listen to lungs, to look in mouth). He fell asleep in the car on the way to day care.

The nights have been really bad for about a week now (sorry sparky!) and I think we need to work on getting sleep back to something more reasonable. He was up every 2 hours last night, and cranky as hell. I think it's partly the lower canines, both of which have broken the skin by now, but partly a greater sense of him articulating his desires and being more self-acting, less malleable. A normal developmental stage, to be sure. But what he wants in the night is to nurse for comfort and snuggle with Mama, and what I want in the night is at most 2 wakeups, so we have a little conflict here. I don't want to nightwean until 18 months, but I do want to reduce the night nursing from the level we were at last night.

Dillo demands in the night weren't much of a bother to me -- I rolled over, maybe. Otherwise, Zzzzzzzzz. Thanks so much for letting me crash and feeding me!
