Devin took Ryleigh for her 1 year check up on Monday. Not only did she have to get shots, the doctor told her she is failing. She lost 1 oz from her 9 month check up. She weighs a whole 16 lbs. 8 oz. That puts her in the bottom 1/3 on the growth chart. Hey, at least she is still on it right? Devin was pretty upset at the doctor. In his words "How can she fail? It's not like she was taking a test. We need a new doctor." Devin is not a fan at all of the growth charts. I think that is why he was so mad.
The doctor told us to make sure she drinks 36 oz of "the milk with the red lid" a day. Apparantly he thought Devin didn't know what whole milk was because he told him numerous times to get the milk with the red lid. Since then, we have given her nothing but milk to drink and we are lucky if she drinks 18 oz. We have to take her back in a month to see if she grew any. Wish her luck!

That's funny! I guess drs talk to dads like repair men talk to women...gotta break it down into terms they can understand. :) Hopefully if baby #2 is a boy he does better in the growth department, girls it's okay to be petite!
It's so interesting how kids are so different! My daughter would eat all day if I let her. She is usually begging for grapes or bananas. We are just happy she is still on teh charts, but by that we mean still in the 99th percentile.
I am too lazy to write a second comment on your other post, but I want updates on the Topsy Turvy garden. We tried a real garden, but every time i go to the store and see those I am so curious becasue they seem so much easier and my plants are not "thriving."
