Well I guess Savannah is what you classify as a big, little girl. Let me explain. Today we went and saw Dr. Lily for Savannah's 15 month check up. My girl only weighs 19.5 pounds. OMG, that only falls in the 5th percentile. The poor girl does not eat. She needs to pork up. She was 2 feet 7 inches tall, which is in the 75th percentile. She has not gained or grown any since her 1 year check up. The Dr is not too concerned at this point but she needs to eat and grow or she will have to be tested if she does neither of these. She did say she was still slightly anemic, most likely due to her not getting enough nutrition in her diet. I guess that means more iron supplments and multivitamins for her eveyday. That explains the little part of my girl, now for the big girl part. Savannah has never really liked her crib since being older. I mean she would sleep in it but wake up several times throughout the night screaming and would not lay back down until asleep in mommy or daddy's arms or in their bed. This was taking a toll on mommy and daddy not getting much sleep. We decided in the past few weeks to trial turning her crib into a toddler bed. It actually did the trick. It is truly a miracle. I guess she did not like feeling like a caged up animal or something. Now she will go to bed on her own, most of the time and sleep ALL night for the most part. In the mornings, she now will wake up and play in her bed instead of crying until someone came to get her. Once in awhile you will find her wondering down the hallway looking for you, but most of the time she does pretty well. Here she is the first night in her big girl bed.
