Fifteen Month Check-up

Well, here's the report:

-31" (approx.) - 75th percentile
-19 lbs., 6 oz. - 10th percentile (we're not even supposed to have the car seat facing forward!....but we do, I'm a bad Mom!)

Summary: Tall and skinny. That's great for someone MY age, but NOT for Ava. The doctor is not too concerned, but since she has shot up in height we need to put some more weight on her to even her out. So.....cheese on her veggies, maybe some carnation instant breakfast in her milk, .... I think I need to do some reading and find some good meal ideas for her. She's not too picky, but maybe I'm not putting enough fat/protein/whatever in her diet. Hmmmm...

In other news, Ava has officially weaned herself from breastfeeding. After MANY months of weaning it all came to an end about a month ago. The before-bedtime feeding was the last to go, and on the final night she signed "milk" to me but said, "No!" when I offered her Mom's. She prefers the cold kind from the frig now, thank you very much. It's nice to have my body back, but also sad to let go of our special bonding time.
