Milestone!

As most of you know, after 6 months of no weight gain (he stayed around 17 lbs from 6 months till he was 1), we took Christian to a nutritionist to see what was going on and how we could fatten our little man up.  The plan was to switch to a high-protein -calorie diet, which included all sorts of unhealthy-sounding things like cooking everything in butter and giving him canned fruit in heavy syrup, etc.  We also mixed the Carnation breakfast powder in with all his milk and gave it to him with all meals and snacks.  Well, that was two months ago.  Last night at Mimi's house, we put Christian on her scale to see how he was doing, and guess what??  He has gained about 4 lbs these last two months, and is up to 21.6 lbs!!  Yayy!!!!!!!!  The "average" for a 1-yr-old is about 22 lbs, so this is very good, exciting news!  And now, we can finally get him a front-facing car seat!  Yippee!  Now...whether his fear of heights and moving too fast will let him enjoy a front-facer is another story!  :)  (We're giving it to him for Christmas, so pics will follow sometime next week.)
