Charlotte is 18 months old now. 18 months! Developmentally, she is doing really well. Walking, running, talking, etc. Unfortunately, we did not get a good report on her growth chart at her check up yesterday. Declining growth charts are no fun. The doctor would like her to see a GI specialist and a dietitian and I really, really don't want to get caught up in that circle again. We agreed to give her a couple of months before taking that step. We have an appointment at the end of July so until then, we are on Operation Gain Weight around here. Initially, I was pretty disappointed with the report. Feeling like a bit of failure, I guess. I quickly realized how silly that was and turned my frown upside down. I mean really, things could be so much worse and I have nothing to complain about. She is small, it isn't the end of the world, and we can fix it.
We signed her up for a Mother's Day Out class that starts in September. I think it will be really good for her and I know it will be good for me.
Perhaps I will have time to actually clean up all the messes she makes :)
