At Jocelyn's 3 year check up, they plotted her stats and then informed me that her growth is still OFF the charts. (under!) But - they are still consistent to where her growth has always been. She's very much a healthy toddler - just petite like her mama. I've been weighing on this decision for some time now but as things have gotten progressively worse at the doctor's office (let's just say unprofessional), I've decided to shop for a new pediatrician. Someone who doesn't obsess with Jocelyn's weight EVERY month and knows you can't change a child's genetic make-up! The good news is, as I checked her stats from her 2 year well visit just a year ago, that she's grown 3 lbs and 1 1/4 inches. But it's still time to go break open the chocolate milk powder to encourage more daily milk intake. (Thank goodness she at least LOVES cheese!) I'm thinking that her drinking maybe 6 ounces a day just isn't cutting it! I'll be back to update once we have news from their new pediatrician.

Do you have a pediatrician in mind? If not, I have one that I love. Actually, he just added a woman to his practice, so now there are two. I love them both. Let me know if you need their info.
Good luck with the doctor search! Jocelyn is so cute!
Thanks guys! We did find a new doctor, which is always such an adventure with Tricare insurance. The new doctor and staff seem to be really nice and professional though so I'm crossing my fingers that this time we found a good fit to take care of our kids.
That sounds very similar to most of my babies. She's such a sweetie! Yahoo for 3 year olds!
