Ana had her 15-month doctors appointment this morning. Here are her stats from the appt:

Height: 31 1/2″ (85th percentile)
Weight: 20 lbs 12 oz (20th percentile)
Head: 46.5 cm (75th percentile)

Her doctor was a little concerned that she hasn’t gained much weight since last time. Only 8.5 oz in three months. (Thank goodness she hadn’t pooped yet, or she may have lost weight!) Apparently she is a little more active than your usual 15 month-old, because I know she eats plenty! But just to be on the safe side we have to go back in a month to check her weight. In the mean time she has to eat lots of fatty foods (butter, cheese, etc.) and let her eat as often as she pleases (like I didn’t do that already!). I guess the doctor saw a look of concern on my face when he said to up her fat intake, because he reassured me that we don’t have to worry about cholesterol until after she turns two years old.

Otherwise the appointment was pretty uneventful. She got two shots, one in each leg and only whimpered for about 20 seconds before forgetting all about it. She was more than happy to preform all the doctors tasks (walking around chasing bubbles, pointing out body parts, etc.) and even surprised him by saying “thank you” when he handed her a tongue depressor to play with. That’s my girl, always an over-achiever. I will make sure I keep you all informed on how “Mission: Gain Weight” works out.
