Overall she's doing good. Noelle knows the doctor now (she holds it together while he's talking to us and then cries the second he lays a finger on her). She's a string bean right now. She's in the 75th percentile for height (almost 30 inches) and is really low in her age group for weight. The doctor suspects a combination of being more active and mom's milk being less nutrient rich is the cause.
He's not concerned because she's healthy, but Noelle's diet is going to include more fatty and calorie rich foods. We have a sheet of suggested foods to add to her diet and I think her food is going to be tasting much better these days (mayo, butter, cream, salad dressing, whipped cream, peanut butter, etc). Don't we all wish we could be on her "diet" :)
Along with the above Noelle has the green light to eat just about anything, and Dr's orders to drink whole milk. Noelle still doesn't know about whole milk, but we're working on it. She does like vanilla yogurt so I found some higher fat yogurt (with cream on top!) and she has been eating that well in the mean time.
In other news my garden is going ok. We've had some spinach, lettuce, basil, and cilantro already. My cilantro has started to seed due to the heat so I'm going to need to figure out how to eat it quick. The tomatoes are already bigger than my fall/winter harvest, they look like they will be tasty. Corey and I can hardly wait (Noelle has no comment). My cucumber plants look pretty sickly, but are still alive and the onions are doing well too! Can't wait to try everything out.
