GI Check Up

Last week I took Abigail to her GI check up. It was a positive appointment overall. Her doctor doesn't want to see her again for 4 months because she is pleased with her growth. That is music to my ears friends because that means her next appointment won't be until July when I am off of work. :) yay!

Abigail weighed 19 pounds 7 ounces and she has grown an inch in length since her last visit 3 months ago. I can't believe she is headed to 20 pounds. She has come a long way since her birth weight of 1 pound 11 ounces. 

Abigail still doesn't care to drink much and this does affect her size. She is in the 15 percentile for her corrected age.  Some days she hardly drinks anything but a few ounces. Then there are days when she drinks all of her bottles to the last drop. Abigail just has a mind of her own. 

I am thankful she likes to eat. She enjoys sitting in her high chair and feeding herself. She doesn't want to be feed anymore and she makes that perfectly clear when she puckers up her lips and pushes your hand away if you try to feed her. Again... She has a mind of her own. 

She currently likes to eat apples and ravioli and she loves cookies. She even says cookie now. :) 

Her doctor wants us to start introducing whole milk into her diet, so we will see how she does with that. I gave her one bottle over the weekend and she wasn't interested. Abigail is currently on Pediasure which is a high calorie formula. Luckily since her doctor prescribes it, insurance covers the cost of it. 

I will keep you all posted on how she does with the whole milk.
