I got scolded

Camille had her 15 month check-up today and she has gained 7 pounds in 3 months. Not only is she off the chart, she's OFF THE CHART! (She weighs 31 pounds 6 ounces - you should see my biceps!) So, the doctor asked me "What are you doing, Mrs. Scribner?" I couldn't bring myself to tell him about her 4 poptarts for breakfast, cheetos & chicken McNuggets for lunch, ice cream for snack and rootbeer with dinner. JUST KIDDING!! (How many of you were ready to pick up the phone and scold me too?) Actually, the kid doesn't eat that much. She just loves her bottles and she's having about 5 of them per day.
So we have to change to lowfat milk and he would like her completely weaned from the bottle by the next visit in 3 months.
However, if any of you are wondering what to get her for Christmas, perhaps this treadmill for kids would be a great idea.

This is HILARIOUS! And, I love her diet.

Who would have thought that she would be like she is now, when 15 months ago at one week of age they were worried that she wasn't gaining!

Ella was having at least 5 bottles a day too, but the doctor told me we need to go off milk for a bit, so I decided it was time to stop. She has been bottle free for 5 days and doing great. She asks, but I just say it's all gone and she's fine with that. Good luck! I can't get Ella past the 21 pound mark. She's barely legal to turn around in the car seat at 19 months!!!

Oh my goodness.... I totally thought you were serious about what you were feeding her. I was thinking, "oh..... it's the 4th and Michelle's just let herself go...." ha ha ha ha
