Isaac turned one on January 13th. He had his one year well check on Thursday. Finally, some good news! His muscle tone is right where it should be! Yahoo! He was 21 pounds, 4 ounces and 30 inches long. That puts him in the 50th percentile for length and the 25th for weight. After some discussions about his diet, the doctor recommended leaving him on Alimentum for the next year, or as long as he will tolerate it. Since he can't have dairy, soy, or nuts the only option left is rice milk. It doesn't have enough fat in it to allow for proper brain development. So, we could go to a formula designed for children over one or stay on Alimentum. Weighing the nutritional and cost differences, we are sticking with what we've been doing. I'm HOPING we will find some other things he can eat and wishing he will grow out of some of these allergies in the next year. Otherwise, he is a beautiful boy. He has eyelashes that go on forever and such a sweet disposition. If not for allergies and refusing to nap, I'd have nothing to complain about! Then what would I do?
