18 Month Check Up

Last Wednesday, Hayes went to see Dr. Smith for her 18 month checkup. She had lost almost 2lbs. from when she was sick therefore weighed a total of 20 lbs. 6 oz. Dr. Smith said that as long as she eats good and she is growing tall, she is doing just fine. Well anyone that has ever witnessed her eat knows that she eats good. I was hoping that she would still be in the 95th percentile in height...ha...not! She dropped down to the 25th percentile. I asked if that was bad. He said that she was just averaging out & that from the looks of me, she wasn't going to be the tallest kid. I cracked up...what else do you do when your child's doctor calls you SHORT? Anyway, he suggested we give her a Boost each day to help her put on some weight. She also had an ear infection the she developed from the sinus infection she had so we started on another antibiotic. Hopefully her sick streak is over.
