15 month check-up

Well we just got back from Elliot's 15 month check-up. He still weighs 21.5 lbs and is 30 inches long. He did not gain any weight since his one year appointment. The doctor is not too concerned because he does eat well and he is active. He did suggest we start putting butter and cheese on his food and if we want to, Ovaltine or Pedisure once a day. I am not too worried because he is a healthy eater. He loves fruits and veggies and eats a lot of them. He did give us a presciption for an epi-pen to have around the house. Over the past few months, Elliot has gotten hives from food that he has eaten. One time we knew it was shellfish and the other time we have no idea what caused it. To be safe, he would like us to have the epi-pen in case next time the reaction is more severe than hives. He is also not concerned about his lack of teeth and said that he will probably get them all at once. Besides that, he is a normal 15-month old.
