A Visit to the Doctor

Brecken had his 18 month well child check-up today (he's just a little over 18 months).  His height is 31 3/4 inches (30th percentile) and his weight is 19 pounds (not even on the charts yet).  The doctor said it's great that he's at least growing taller, but he's sure not gaining much weight!  We told him we weren't too surprised since he and Ava both are such picky eaters at school and sometimes don't even eat there.  Plus, he has been sick every other week!  When the doctor was looking him over, he found that he STILL has a little fluid in both ears.  So we are now on round three or four of antibiotics.  He hasn't taken this particular one before and the doctor said he wants to see him again in a few weeks to see if his ears have cleared up.  If not, we may be looking at tubes for his little ears.  Other than that, our little munchkin is a happy and healthy boy!  He is talking more each day.  I tried to take a few videos of him saying things.  Hopefully they will load on here, but who knows? 
A little funny...While we were waiting on the nurse to come in for shots, Ava was looking at all of the pamphlets in the doctor's office.  She came to one about circumcision.  :)  She sat down, opened it up and began to look at the illustrations. 
"What are they doing to this penis?" she asked. 
Erick and I quietly laughed and gave her the answer.  She listened, then continued to look at it and take everything in.
"Do we have to do this to Brecken?" 
More smiles from us.  We told her that he already had it done when he was teeny tiny. 
She was quiet again and continued looking.  Then she said, "I just wish we could do this to him again."
We told her that wasn't possible.  And then I put the brochure away before the nurse came back. :)
