Kayla's 15 Month Check Up

Today Kayla went for her 15 month well baby check up. She is still underweight at 18 lbs 9.5 oz (less than the 5th percentile) but is 30.5 in long (50th percentile). Her doctor said she wants to have her blood work done to rule any medical reason why she is underweight. She doesn't think anything is wrong but wants to be sure. I explained Kayla is eating but doesn't eat much and doesn't eat meat and is very picky. She suggested giving her Carnation Instant Breakfast to give her some extra calories. Also healthy milkshakes and extra cheese. My mission for the next four weeks is to put some weight on Kayla before going back in a month for a weight check. Kayla also got two vaccines and was a very brave little girl. She cried when the nurse stuck her with first needle but then stopped when I picked her up.
