12 Month Check Up

Ramey had her 12 month well baby visit today....

The doctor was very impressed with all of her skills!! (and her teeth!)

She is still a little peanut and dropped to between the 5th-10th percentiles, weighing in at 18lbs 1oz. The doctor told us to fatten her up give her lots of (healthy) fats... avocado, eggs, olive oil, butter on everything and since we do not have any family food allergies we can give peanut butter a try.

Height isn't a concern in the 60th percentile at 29 1/2". Looks like we need to go get her new car seat this weekend. Luckily we still have a few inches to go... the infant seat is 30lbs and 32"

Everything was great till we got to her ears... not only was this a well baby visit but also a follow up from the high fever/virus/ear infection/rupture from last month. The rupture as healed and is looking better BUT their is an infection... in BOTH ears! So here goes another round of antibiotics. We got the name of an ENT, so we will be scheduling an appointment soon. She's had 4 infections in 6 months so we think it's time to meet with a specialist... don't want this to cause a problem with her hearing or speech development.

No shots today... I hate to do that to her when she isn't feeling well and the Dr was ok with that (same thing happened at the 6 month WBV)... she did get the finger stick for lead and iron levels... both in normal range!!

We go back at the end of the month to check the ears again...

Update: ENT appt on monday...
