Today, we took Troy in for his one-year check-up and shots. The appointment went okay, other than Troy not liking people to look into his ears, hold down his arms, or stab him repeatedly in the leg with needles (can't say I blame him on this one). He weighed in at a little over 30 pounds and was measured at a little over 32 inches long. This could account for why I get fatigued carrying him and why he's now able to pull stuff off the kitchen countertops.
We've now been directed to take away his pacifier, switch from bottles to cups, and reduce his formula intake to supplement even more with actual food. The doctor also told us not to feed him milk right before he goes to bed, because the milk sitting in his mouth all night will start to rot his teeth. We're supposed to get him to drink water instead or after to wash the milk down. This will prove difficult, since Troy is not really a fan of drinking straight water. All of these are fine on their own, but all at once is going to be an overwhelming task.
