Kau'e's Year Appointment

I can not believe its been a year since this little one has been to Dr. E! We love Dr E in SF! He was kind enough to take Kau'e into his practice when Kau'e was born prematurely!

Today was Kau'e's 1 year check up wellness appointment! Kau'e weighs 28 lbs 8 oz (100%) and is 31 inches long (95%). He is hitting all milestones he should be at his age for a full term baby.

Things we are to do with him now:

-Stop Zantac and see how hiss spitting up goes
-Stop adding 1 TBSP of Barley to Milk
-Limit his milk intake to 32oz daily
-Give him more water and juice instead of milk
-Do the Ferber Method so he can learn now to sleep on his own and through out the night
-Keep exposing him to new foods, foods we eat
-Give him yogurt and cottage cheese for 2 weeks and see how he reacts to it and then after that if he's okay start whole milk (heaven!!!)
-Keep an eye on his feet as he walks, if they are getting worse - turning inward - then we need to take him back to the doctor. If he is adjusting fine and not getting worse than no problem. But we will keep in mind for him to see the DR again at 2 years just to make sure his feet are okay.
-Keep exposing him to books, languages, and the world around him.
