We went to the doctor Monday and Dominick has his 4th ear infection. Poor thing! His new measurements are:
Height 30 1/4 (50%)
Weight 24 lbs. 10 oz. (70 %)
Head Circumference 18 3/4 inches (75%)
I thought he would have weighed more, his belly is looking BIG these days! The doctor fussed at me (not really) and told me to get him off the bottle NOW. He's been off the "bottle" since about 11 months, but he's on a sippy cup that has a bottle-type nipple and he refused to take anything else. I told the doctor I'd get him off that "bottle" over the Easter Holidays since I'll be home. He said NO, that is too long. He said the longer I wait, the harder it will be on me and Dominick. He said at this age they are getting more strong-willed by the week and super attached to objects such as a bottle. Sooo, we ditched the bottle-type nipple last night and only offered him a regular sippy cup with a hard spout. He didn't take it this morning at home or daycare and just had to be thirsty, but he finally started taking it after lunch. Yipppeee! I'm not giving in, so he will just have to deal with it... "Tough Love".
He is getting so big and does so much. He loves to push buttons and recently discovered the button to turn on and off the computer. So you CANNOT use the computer if he is in the same room as you. He crawls under the desk and repeatedly pushes the power button turning the computer off and on and off and on. He used to say "Bo Bo" for bottle. We, of course always pronounced it correctly. And now he calls it "Bo Doo". It sounds a lot like bottle. Then today, I turned my head for a few seconds to answer the phone and I heard him hollering 5 feet behind me. I turned around and he had the T.V. remote in hand and had crawled onto his little rocker and was standing up (squatting) on the chair holding on the the back of it and didn't know how to turn around and sit down. I didn't know he could climb up like that, Yikes!
Okay, I deleted the video because his pee-pee showed a little and edited it and tried to republish it but I'm having trouble so I'll just have to do a video later...Sorry.

OK - I do not like your DR and I think he must know mine!!!!!!
We are doing the no bottle thing slowly - very slowly - it is so hard to be a Mom on days like that!!!!!!!
