Frankie 15 months and other stuff

Well, our little peanut stays little!  We will be lucky if he reaches 20 lbs. by 18 months! haha  He had a great checkup other than weighing only 19 lbs.  He is still in the 1 %tile, but 75th in height and 25th in head circumference.  He's growing, just not filling out.  I love Dr. Miller.  He is so positive and trusts that I am doing everything I should be doing.  Frankie is not malnutritioned, just skinny mini!  We discussed some options to help plump him up and decided to meet with a nutritionist to see how we can get creative and incorporate some more protein in Frank's diet.  We'll see how that goes.  I guess if I can get some new ideas on what to feed him, it'll be worth my time.  I'll let you know...hahaha!  In the meantime, I just pray Frankie stays healthy and strong and at least keeps growing...up!
Here are the charts for those of you who are interested:
18 months          Frank                  Jak     
weight               19lbs.                25lbs.
height                32"                     33" but may not have been recorded correctly....

I don't have Nick's 18 months and don't know mine. 

A little news on Jak....we took him to see his first movie in the theater last night!  We had a Mommy, Daddy, Jak date!  We went to see Cars 2.  It wasn't great, but it was fun.  It cost just as much for us to get a popcorn and pop to share as it did to get in to the theater!  Oh my goodness!  :)  We were also the ONLY people in the theater, so we got to choose where we sat!  Jak thought that was pretty cool!  Nick and I both agreed that we would have rather watched the movie at home on the couch, but were so very glad to give Jak that experience.  I think he liked it.  He seemed pretty excited last night, but really hasn't talked about it much.  Other than he thought is was pretty neat we got to choose where we sat! HA!  He's funny.  He has told me several times today that, "At the movies you get to pick where you sit, but in an airplane they tell you where you sit."  :)  He's cute!  We had a great time and I'm sure Frankie had a blast with G and P Chaney. 

I am currently working on my second grad course for the summer.  I got signed up late which has been a blessing and a headache.  I finished my first course quickly and enjoyed it (or at least enjoyed it as much as you can for a grad course).  It wasn't boring, I'll put it that way.  I picked up a few things, but other than that it was just an easy, put in my time course.  My second course, which I was really excited about, is disappointing me.  I am not enjoying it and am having a hard time getting motivated to work on it.  Plus, I have a million things going through my head and need to do before school starts in a week.  Needless to say, there is not much down time for me and the stress level has raised significantly. Luckily I have my babies to slow me down (or maybe distract me is a better way to put it.)

  2. oh karmen, dont you worry about Frankie! Macy was always so tiny too. I gave her either carnation instant start, or pedisure (kids version) every day to try to pump up calories. he's a doll and perfectly fine! I miss you and sorry for not getting ahold of you to continue catching up. I love reading about your family. : ) hope you had a good first week of school!
