On April 16th Amelia had her one year appointment. She dropped quite a bit in weight (she only gained 12 oz in 3 months) and is now 20lbs (30%), 30 inches (80%) and her head is 17 3/8 inches (25%). Once again I am shocked, as are others, that Amelia can be in the 30% for weight and 80% for height and have her rolls, she just doesn't look that thin. Well, at least her forearms, calves, wrists and ankles don't (although they have dramatically decreased in every sense of the word), the rest of her is pretty lean.
Her doctor mentioned that I should watch the weight because she wouldn't want her to drop even more next time. She even went so far as to suggest putting olive oil, butter or heavy cream into her food if she doesn't start gaining. Wait, she was talking about my food right. Unfortunately, no.
Then came the fun part, shots. Oh the joy. Amelia happily played through her toe prick and blood draw. She even didn't seem to mind the first shot. Then the second one came...wow. She made quite a scene.
In the paper they sent home with me about her development it said that at this age they prefer people over toys... ya, shocker.

Doctors are funny. When I took Mariah in for her 6 month check up her weight seemed low to me and the doctor didn't say ANYTHING about it. Funny how there can be so many different opinions about the same thing in the medical field... I thought medicine was a science! jk ;)
