Check-up

Zelena had her 9 month doctor's appointment today. She had to get three shots that she didn't get at her 6 month check-up. There were a few more tears than at 6 months but the tears still didn't last long.

Z is giving me the look of, "Mom, you are up to something. What is about to happen?"

 

 

Everything else was great except when the doctor thought that the nurse made a mistake on weighing Z. So we weighed her again and, nope, it was right. She has not gained much weight but boy has she grown in length.

Look at those long legs. That's why she is in 12 month pants but can still wear a 6 month sweater.

 



 

So here are Z's stats: Weight 16 lbs. 14 oz. - 12th percentile (she has only gained 1.9 since 6 months)

Length 28.5 - 82nd percentile (but she has grown 2.5 in. since 6 months)

Head Circumference 17.25 - 40th percentile

 

Dr. Doroshow doesn't seemed worried at all about Z not gaining much weight. She thinks that the next time she see's Z(which will be at a year), the weight will have caught up. That put my mind at ease because when I saw the scale for the third time, my heart was pounding and memories of her weight gaining issues as an infant came rushing back.

 

Z's looking at the doc. probably thinking, "I agree, tell mom to chill out."
