Dr Visit Stats and some Photos

Katelynn had a check up this past Monday. At 16 months 6 days she is:

Weight: 20 lb 11 oz (12th percentile)
Height: 31 inches (53rd percentile)
Head Circumference: 18.7 inches (83rd percentile)

Skinny little thing; big big head! Her development is all on target or a little ahead. She was tested for allergies and a few other things to try to find out why she dislikes eating so much, but the results were all negative. Her weight is hanging in there, but not without a lot of struggle to get her to eat. Our new pediatrician (whom we really really like) is referring us to a feeding clinic at Children's Hospital where a team including a nutritionist, an SLP, and some other folks will evaluate her eating. Sounds like it could be helpful, or at least reassuring that we are doing all that we can. Here are some recent photos...

She was pretty freaked out by this giant thing!

Katelynn loved the flamingos' squawking.

Mommy's favorite animal to visit at the zoo.

She must have a thing about birds. She did not like this activity any more than the peacock, and she was terrified of the ducks at the park the other day.

We started attending a swimming class for tots (6 months-3 years) on Tuesday evenings. She is really enjoying it, but could definitely use some more body fat. We usually only make it through 2/3 of the class before we head for the hot showers.

Katelynn and I are in the upper right hand corner. We sing lots of songs, and she is learning how to kick, paddle, and blow bubbles.
