Loryn had her 15 month doctor appointment today. She is in excellent health (knock on wood). Loryn's ears are 100% better than they were, so we don't have to go and see an ENT at this point. The doctor thinks Loryn may have a weak immune system (figures since I have one too) and that is why she has gotten so sick recently. Her body just can't handle getting sick, so she gets all these secondary infections (and LOTS of ear infections). We will be monitoring her ears, and if she needs tubes, then we will do that for her.
Loryn's height is 31.5 inches (76th percentile), weight is 19 pounds 10.5 ounces (6th percentile), and head circumference is 18 inches (41st percentile). Since Loryn has been consistent in her 5-10 percentile range in weight, the doctor isn't concerned. Especially when Loryn is eating me out of house and home. just kidding. But seriously, Loryn is eating a lot. Two days ago for lunch Loryn ate 2 slices of pizza (no crust) and a 1/4 cup of peas and was still asking for more. Loryn is getting in 3 teeth right now, and I think a fourth may start breaking through soon. The doctor has suggested since Loryn is starting to try to feed herself with a spoon/fork, for us to have a bath snack. That way Loryn can practice with a spoon of yogurt or something in the bath, so it is okay if she makes a giant mess. She suggested either doing it before a meal and making it an appetizer or after a meal and making it dessert. If we do it, I will surely post pictures because she can be quite messy at times.
