Knox's 18 month...


Knox had his 18 month well check the other day here are his stats

33 in tall- 60%
24.9 lbs- 35-40 %
48.8 cm head circumference- 60%

He is happy and healthy and is sooooo sweet !! I love him so much.  He loves to give snuggles and to be held.  He is the loviest baby.  Anyway- we did have one thing that is of concern...He has chronic diarrhea (nice I know) so much so that I have quit the cloth diaper business for a while.  He is have about 5-8 poop diapers a day and I just don't have enough time to be rinsing that many diapers.  Anyway- he has always had tummy troubles.  It took 6 months for us to figure out that he had a problem with milk/soy products...(a protein deal) and then since 13 months he has had chronic diarrhea.  So he has just been tested for Ciliacs disease.  A wheat/Gluten intolerance and we should find out soon.  No big deal, if he does have it, it seems to be on the mild side and not life threatening.  It would just be  dietary change that might actually benefit our family.

Poor Lil' Guy! He is such a babe! When he gets older girls are going to think he is the "loviest" too!!
