Ok so I'm a lil behind, I just wanted to hold off on the MMR shot for as long as possible. I actually had to bring her in because she's been really sick. Threw up twice over the last week & has a cough that wakes her constantly. it turns out she has a virus and fluid in her ears, luckily its not infected so no antibiotics for now. At least I got her heght & weight. She is now 13 months and is 18lbs 9 oz (10%) & 30 (75%) in long. So it looks like I have a tall and skinny lil girl...she actually finally slet thru the night again after 2 weeks of constantly geting up. So Im hoping that means she's back on her way to recovery.

BTW: I love the idea of getting the medical kit to help with the anxiety of the doctor. Ava is usually so happy & smiley but once she sees the Dr she screams until he leaves - LOL!

DS is a stringbean too! I think he was 90th percentile for height and 45th for weight at his last visit. We go back in two days, so I get to see how much he's grown since then. Keep in mind that your DD may have dropped a little weight just from being sick too. There is often not a huge difference between a 10th and 25th percentile, 25th and 50th percentile... you get the drift.

My DD was 3% for weight and 76% for height at her 1 year check up...and then 8% for weight and 75% for height at her 18 mo check up, so a string bean here, too! Hope she's getting better soon!

She actually is doing well with her weight as she used to be in the less than 5% on weight from 6-11 mo appt - so Im happy with the 10% ...She is feeling much better & tarting to eat again - YEAH!!! I gave her perogies the other day & she gobbled them up!!

Hi! Im glad to hear Ava is doing great! Me, on the other hand, have a big guy! He weighs 24.4lbs!!! Dr said they start slowing down in weight around this age. As long as they are healthy, it doesnt matter too much how they weigh.
