We went to the doctor today for Caddie's 9 month visit, which was a month late due to the holiday. At her appointment they track her weight, height, and head circumference. She was below the chart for weight, yet again going down from her last visit. So we go back in 6 months to make sure she is not falling farther down and is gaining weight.
A plus to our visit is that besides her weight, Caddie is SUPER! She is advanced in all of her motor skills and is so happy and active. The doctor is pleased with how she is doing and how well she has been.
The weight could just be that she will just be a small person but the doctor would still like to see her gain a little and get back on the chart for her age. So we are working on getting her to finish bottles and eat plenty at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We will be adding foods that are high in good fats like avocados and high in protein like chicken and turkey. So we will see how she does in the next 6 weeks.
