Marleigh had her two year check up a couple of weeks ago. Daddy took her to it since it is my busy time of year. Since her 18 month appointment, she has grown 3 inches! She is now 34.5 inches tall, which is in the 65th percentile. The doctor was very happy with that. However, she hasn't gained any weight at all. Still 23.5 lbs, which is in the 5th percentile. Marc said he was quizzing him on what she ate, and if we fed her. I'm glad I wasn't there because I don't think I would have been very nice! Marleigh gets a fruit, veggie, and protein at lunch and dinner. And usually a grain of somesort, too. Her breakfasts are usually a grain and fruit of some form or eggs. She eats very healthy food for the most part. I think one of the main reasons she hasn't gained weight is that at 18 months, she was just learning to walk. Now, she runs everywhere ALL the time. I just don't think she's ever going to be a big girl. She's tall like her Dad, but her frame is tiny. Good thing Daddy took her to her check up. Like I said, I don't think I would have been very nice. You don't wanna mess with this mama!
I'll post pics of her party as soon as I can!
From the sounds of it, she is fine. Taryn just had her 5 year check up....she weighed 34 pounds and is 41 or 42 inches tall. She is in the 10% percentile for height and weight. I know Taryn's pediatrician said that as long as she is following her growth chart and growing she is fine. Mom and Dad's know our chilren the best. Hope you are feeling good. Congrats to your family.

Nico hasn't packed on the lbs much either since he learned to walk. He only gained about 3-4 lbs from 12-24 mos!
ReplyDeleteSounds like she is eating great and growing just fine. Camryn was only 27 pounds at her 3 year check up and I think she only gained 3-4 pounds from her 2 year check up. Can't wait to see birthday pictures!!! Don't work to hard.
