Mireya Ruesch: 15 Month Wellness Visit

Mireya had her 15 month wellness visit last Tuesday, June 14th. She screamed bloody murder the entire time, so it wasn't much fun. These are her stats:

Weight- 18 pounds 4 ounces, 1.23 percentile

Height- 30.5 inches, 49th percentile

Head Circumference- 17.5 inches, 13th percentile

She is still very skinny and she hasn't gained more than a few ounces, but she is growing well. She has grown an inch since her last visit. (That explains why she can suddenly reach things that she didn't used to be able to...) The doctor thinks that she might just be a skinny kid. He said she looks great and shows no sign of malnutrition, which is good. I can't imagine that she would show any nutrition deficiencies considering how much she eats.

Her favorite food currently is still the cheesy eggs. They are scrambled eggs covered in cheddar cheese and she adores them. In fact, after we got home tonight, I asked her if she wanted come cheesy eggs and she nodded with her whole body like she does for yes (SO CUTE!) and then she said, "cheesy eggs!" I couldn't believe it! It was crystal clear! She is talking more and more every day!

This morning as I was unpacking the produce from Bountiful Baskets, she saw the plums and got excited, so I handed her one. She immediately started eating it just like an apple. She has never had plums before, but it was clear that she thought they were the "cat's meow." She ate several actually.

We went to Costco today and they had free samples everywhere. One of those was a man handing out different types of cheesecake. We got Mireya some raspberry white chocolate and she couldn't stop saying, "Mmmmmmm!!!! Mmmmm!" I actually went back and got more for her a couple of times and even though she was a mess, she was thrilled. She got so silly! She was playing funny little baby games while she was eating it and Jason and I could barely keep it together. We laughed and laughed and I think everyone thought we'd lost our marbles.
