STATS

We had Isabelle's 12 month "well baby check up" this past Monday (March 31) and although she is excelling in pretty much everything, she is still lagging in one department...her weight.

Here are her stats: Isabelle is 29" tall (52nd percentile), her head is 46.5cm (80th percentile-imagine that!) and she has met and exceeded all of the milestones for a 12 month old however, she is only 19 lbs which puts her in the 17th percentile for weight. Dr. Diab joked with us saying that at least she is going up and not down (she was in the 12th percentile at her 9 month check up). We were so sure that she would be over 20 lbs since we have changed her diet and have been feeding her more but we are guessing that with all of her walking, she is just burning those calories right off (not good now but she will love that later, if it stays that way). He advised that we keep feeding her what we are eating and more often (no more baby food) and also start giving her a Pediasure supplement once a day which he is positive will help chunk her up. We shall see. Meanwhile will be waiting another month or so to flip those car seats. Better safe than sorry!

P.S. She hated the strawberry Pediasure so we are going to try chocolate tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
