The numbers are in

Hannah turned 13 months old yesterday!!   I would have posted, but it has been crazy with Ethan and Abigail starting school this week.

We saw Dr. B., her pediatrician, today.  We actually haven’t seen him in his office in two months!  We went from visits every two weeks to every month.  Now we are finally at every 2 months! 

For the important stuff, her numbers are in…

Height:  29-3/4 inches (1 inch growth since NIH in mid July) – 50th percentile
Weight:  20 lb 9 oz (9 oz gain from the NIH in mid July) – 25th to 50th percentile
Head circumference:  19″ – stable! – >97th percentile

No failure to thrive issues here! 

We are still having major feeding issues, but we are going to start incorporating even more baby food into her bottles (along with still attempting to feed her by mouth often), less formula, and start introducing whole milk.   We are also meeting with the nutritionalist in a few weeks, which will really help us fine tune her eating so we can try and avoid a feeding tube since she is going to start requiring more calories now that she is more active.

She also got her first of two flu shots today along with 2 of the recommended 12-month immunizations.  Dr. B. is being more cautious about what immunizations she gets and when, which I appreciate. 

And again — TWO months until our next follow up visit!

    awesome! the whole milk will help a lot with the calories too. maybe make shakes with milk and fruit yogurt and put in a bottle? or have you tried a straw cup? maybe if something she still can control she will do it?

    little stinker!
