snlee I have an appt for Amelia tomorrow morning for something similar. Sometimes it looks like she''s just "zoning" when she''s actually looking at me. One eye is a little off to the outside.Date: 4/7/2010 6:23:11 PM

Didn''t realize George''s birthday is today too! Happy birthday George!
Wow, THREE PS babies born on the same day!
This thread is moving! I can''t keep up!
jas, so sorry your pedi sucks and made you worry. Can''t believe she said you''re not reading/singing to him enough! I''m glad you''re switching docs! Sounds to me they both boys are within the normal range.
We had D''s 18 month appointment today. We saw another pedi in the practice since our regular one is out. The doctor didn''t even ask how many words he says. He could hear/see cars, trucks, and buses outside the window so he kept saying those words during the appointment. Pedi just asked if he''s saying any other words other than vehicles.Even though I think D has a good amount of words in his vocabulary, he definitely doesn''t pronounce things well but well enough for us to understand what he''s trying to say. Words like bye, he said clearly before but no more often than not it doesn''t sound like bye now!![]()
He''s 23 lbs 4 oz, 31.75 inches, which I couldn''t believe. Up from 21 lbs, 29.5 inches. I thought they measured him wrong, so I put him back down to see if they drew the line correctly and it looks right. He grew over 2 inches!
We''ve noticed sometimes one eye goes to the center more so we brought that up. Pedi is going to refer us to an opthamologist to get it checked out just in case. Even though it''s just as a precaution and pedi doesn''t think there''s anything wrong, it''s hard not to worry. I was hoping they would say it was nothing.
Pedi aslo said he shouldn''t be drinking more than 16 ounces of milk now. I was surprised since at 15 months, our pedi said 16-24 is good, no more than 30. So with his milk intake down, I think I''m going to seriously tackle switching to a cup very soon. We haven''t made any progress mostly because I haven''t been trying much. I think we''ll just go cold turkey one day and only offer the cup with milk. It''ll probably be a tough 3-5 days but he''ll learn.
Don''t know if you read my cross eyed thread for my friend''s son, but he had the one eye going to the center thing. Turned out that asian babies with less of a nose bridge often look cross eyed because there''s just more skin covering the eye. My ped thinks something similar might be up with Amelia. I''m getting it checked out because we have a history of HORRIBLE vision in our family. My brother was pretty well legally blind and got his first pair of THICK glasses by Kindergarten.
Hope all is well with D''s eyes...keep us posted!!
Oh, and re: milk...different advice from different peds. 16-24 was my ped''s recommendation until 2.
