We took Nadia to her 12 month check up and the doctor thinks that she is doing great. She is on target with all the developmental milestones and she is free to have all kinds of table food now. It’s going to be a whole new world for her as she has enjoyed what we have already been giving her including eggs, cheerios and macaroni and cheese. The doctor does want us to keep her on formula/rice cereal mix for another 3 months so that she can continue to get a lot of extra calories to keep gaining weight.
Nadia gained 1 pound 10 ounces since her last check up and grew half an inch. She is now up 3 pounds 14 ounces since China and about 2 inches. On the American growth charts she is in the 5th percentile for weight and the 25th percentile for height. She is a tiny little thing, but healthy as can be and we are so blessed. This of course explains why she is still wearing 6-9 month clothes 🙂
