The good news is that Abby is very well. Despite a couple of vaccines (aka shots that sting for a few minutes after), she is doing just awesome.
Weight: 18.6 pounds (2%) hahahaha
Length: 30.6" (50%) yayay!
Head circumference: 45 cm (66%) Big brain!
I even tried to "throw the weigh in" by giving her a cup of milk before her appt. Contemplating putting lead in her diaper, I remembered she weighs in butt naked. Hmpf.
On to the details....Abby eats well, is super active, doing well on all her gross motor skills (walking, etc) and fine motor skills (pinching stuff), has a handful of words (doc expects around four), getting loads of teeth, sleeps well, and drum roll please....had almond butter for lunch! I've been holding off on peanut butter for the peanut allergy scares the bejesus out of me. Forty-five minutes after lunch we seem to be in the clear.
She did get her vaccines today for MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and Varicella (chix pox). We did talk about the autism concern, but both Tim and I want Abby to have her vaccines on schedule. For her safety and the safety of other kiddos.
All in all, we are pretty excited about Abby's growth. We'll keep on feeding her what we eat and hope her appetite keeps up!
