Jocelyn's 2 Year Well Baby

Check-up date: 9/18/08
Weight: 20lbs. 5oz.
Height: 32 3/4 inches

Jocelyn had her 2 year well baby check up. It went pretty well overall. They're still concerned with her weight though (again, I'm not). Her weight (not sure about the height) are off the charts. And I don't mean the extreme high end either. She's been at the low end for awhile now. Mind you she HAS been a picky eater and refuses milk almost completely but I do have to say in defense to that that she's a healthy toddler, very active, eats more and more foods and she's still continuing to grow taller. What can I say other than both of my girls like to be 20 lbs for awhile. To be on the safe side, the doctor wants to rule anything out that may be hindering her weight gain so we've been given lab orders to get things checked. I was hesitant about it at first but after getting a lot of my questions and concerns answered, I too would like to make sure there's nothing wrong. In the event that there is, we can do something about it sooner than later. Once she's well enough (currently has a cold) we'll be getting that checked out. She also received her last dose of shots (Hep A) that she'll need until kindergarten. Thankfully they did that at the end of her appointment!! A grape sucker and pink barbie bandaid seemed to take her troubles go away almost immediately. They gave us parents an information packet about the two's stage called "miss independent" and boy is THAT ever true! :) We have to go back in for a recheck in a month so I'll update on how that goes. She's doing really well though for her age so I'm confident that things will be fine.
