Miina’s 9 month appt
We took her to the doctor for her 9 month yesterday.
She is doing really well. She is 50% for head, 15% for weight and 50% for height. Our doctor isn’t concerned about her weight for now, he said she should even out over the course of the next 3 months (by her 12 month visit). If she doesn’t, then we will discuss what to do then.
We told him, she eats everything we give her and we don’t stop feeding her until she pulls away. We are not limiting her eating at all, so we were surprised when she weighed so little according to the charts. And she seems like she’s fairly big compared to other kids her age…oh well.
He was impressed with her gross motor skills as far as crawling and standing and those sorts of things. He said she’s ahead on all of that and it could account for her weight loss. I was worried about when she does start walking, usually kids lose a lot of weight do we need to worry, he said no. He said the only thing we can’t feed her is red meat, so we’ll start with chicken and things like that.
She also got a flu shot and her finger poked for a hemoglobin test. The hemoglobin was just fine. She did ok with the hemoglobin finger poke, barely made a sound. She just wanted her finger back. Then for the flu shot, she was more mad about having to lay down than the actual shot. Morgan was more upset than Miina..hehe. She was plugging her ears and trying to block it all out.
