Bria was at the health unit to get weighed and measured Tuesday, and she's being encouraged to eat, eat, eat! She weighed in at 15 pounds, 4 ounces (6.9 kilos), and measured 26" (66.04 centimetres). Her height to weight ratio has dropped a bit over time and is now at about 26th percentile, which means they would like to see her chunk up just a bit! They also tested her blood for anemia, and her iron levels were 11.5 (10.9 would be a concern at her age).
She doesn't care to drink from a sippy cup or bottle (she chews on them rather than sucking), but is still nursing, and we are going to start encouraging her to have some whole milk with meals to see if that helps a bit. She HAS been growing a bit lately (we've noticed she is outgrowing clothes!), so hopefully it's just that they caught her mid-growth spurt!
