Hadleigh-boo turned 9 months old last Thursday. She is outgrowing the length of 9 mos clothes and is wearing 12 month clothes. She is wearing a size 3 diaper. She still has 8 teeth. In my opinion, her hair has gotten lighter aka Rocco style. Time will tell if she develops Rocco's Mich@el J@ckson syndrome of lighting up until she is a full-blown blonde.
She had her 9 month well baby visit on Thursday afternoon. She has an ear infection and the doc rechecked her ears and they are getting better. Doc noticed her wheezing and coughing and diagnosed her with bronchitis and recommended breathing treatments. (Get out nebulizer at home.)
The doc then proceeded to ask the series of developmental questions...like is she sitting up? is she crawling? is she feeding herself?? Although I was VERY happy to report, she is now sitting up, most of my answers were no. Doc seemed concerned and recommended physical therapy. Here is her name tag/ certificates at school. So stinking cute!!
Then the doc then started going over her percentiles
height - 29.75 in - 105th percentile
weight - 16 lbs 6 oz - 10th percentile
head - 46 cm - 95th percentile
You can guess the category that raised some eyebrows. Since her 6 month appt., Hadleigh has not gained any weight. Any. I was floored. I cannot explain it. The girl drinks her bottles, she eats baby food like a champ. But they weighed her twice on two different scales and the result was the same. Soooooooo, they put her on special high-calorie formula and want to check her in a week. Then they want to check her in a month. They want to see her gain some serious weight.
I am trying to remain calm. I am looking forward to her appt. on Thursday to get a second opinion from another doctor. Good to have more that one opinion.
She is such a happy baby. Here she is sitting up!!! AND in the past three days, she is saying "Mama" very clearly!!! Yea!!!! I am hoping all of this stuff will resolve itself with minor work and worry!!!
My mom was noticing that with Jillian's monthly pics, I always had her in a hat. But with Hadleigh, it is always a bow. Soooo, here is my Hads in this ADORABLE hat!!!
I'll let ya'll know how it goes on Thursday but hopefully she has gained something.
