Cole's 15 month Checkup and Potty Training!

Last week, Mister Cole had his 15 month checkup (1 month late as he is 16 months now). He did fantastic! Here are his current stats:

Height: 32 1/2 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 28 1/2 lbs (90th percentile)

He had been suffering with a cold the week prior to his appointment and his pediatrician said he actually had bronchiolitis. I guess this is just a more severe version of a cold that has moved into his chest. The good news is he was at the tail-end of it and seems to have made a full recovery the past few days. Poor guy also had to get two shots but only cried for a minute and then was back to his jolly self. Cole's personality is really starting to shine lately...he is so funny! He laughs all the time and will do anything to get a giggle out of his sister. They both crack me up.

Speaking of Eve, we are on the cusp of potty training and it is going awesome. To be honest with you, she is doing all the training herself and we are just going with the flow. The past few days, she has been asking me to go to the bathroom like a big girl. She has also been wearing her regular underwear for hours at a time with no accidents. If all keeps going well, I know she'll be trained in no time, but we are not going to push her. It'll happen when it happens! Also, we had Eve's opthamologist appointment a couple weeks ago. She had been complaining of eye pain more and more frequently in the past few months, and I had been growing more and more concerened. Thankfully there was nothing seriously wrong...she was diagnosed with a slight astigmatism in her right eye (not bad enough to warrant glasses, thank goodness!) and the doctor also found that her tears evaporate much faster than normal. In other words, she has dry eyes! This is what has been causing her pain, but there is not much to do for it except eye drops, which a toddler is not too keen on. We are just supposed to encourage her to blink when she has the pain, and when she is old enough she can start using drops.
