Another Endochrin Appointment

These appointments are becoming so routine that they hardly aren't even worthy to note, but I thought I would tell about it anyway, just because this week ended up being Dr. appointment week.  Monday was endochrin and we went through the usual measuring and sizing routine.  Since thyroid influences growth they are really watching his growth.  His head circumference is the biggie since the can only grow his head, not shrink.  Justin has been wearing 18 month clothes for about a year now, and he only got new orthotics because of the girth of his foot, not the length or width.  The only thing that seems to grow is his belly!  He is just getting into 24 mo/2T shirts, and he can't fit the one piece 18 mo. outfits, so we're into the next size of those too.  We are just now getting into the clothes Travis was wearing when Justin was born.  Kind of a cool milestone!  Anyway, his head grew sufficiently that the doctor was satisfied.  We had to do more labs to monitor his thyroid.  We don't know the results yet, but they did get him on the first stick!
