I can hardly believe Calvin is 19 months old! It's fun to see his personality develop and watch him learn new things. Here's a little snapshot of what he's up to right now.
Important Stats
Weight: 29 pounds
Height: 34.5 inches
Size 2T (some things 3T!)
Foods
His restrictive diet has been working! The doctor excitedly cleared him to try new foods, so now we're up to six total: carrot, grape, pork, turkey, rice and soy. To mix things up, he enjoys carrots, tofu and turkey fried in bacon grease! Rice allows him rice milk, rice cakes, rice Chex, and even cookies! He has a soy formula to add some nutrients.

Looking back, we didn't get to enjoy this stage as much with Lucas and Rebecca, so I'm thankful for the time now. Why were we a little distracted? Let's see the photographic evidence...

Language Notes:
Words: pēpē, nui
Meanings: baby, big
Language: Hawaiian
Usage: Nui is very commonly written. You'll find it used to describe locations, Hawaiian products and silly menu names. Pēpē is not as common, I've only heard it spoken. Keiki is used more generically for children.
