15 month checkup

Zadie had her 15-month checkup last week and she’s defying the odds. It amazes me how much she continues to grow despite very stubbornly refusing to eat much of anything besides fruit. This child goes bonkers for all fruits, but particularly loves apples and berries. It’s very challenging to convince her to eat anything else and we do worry about her getting any protein. Tori tries every trick in the book to sneak some protein in (berries mixed w/chicken?), but Zadie always outsmarts us. The doctor said to just let it be and not to fight her too much. I guess it could be worse and she could refuse to eat anything but junk food.

Anyway, Zadie leapt up on all the growth charts. She weighed 23 lbs and 13 oz, which is the 70th percentile (up from the 50th percentile last time around). She measured 32 inches, which is the 90th percentile, and her head circumference was 19 inches (that must be centimeters, not inches, right?). Her head circumference is now in the 100th percentile, so the poor child definitely has my genes in that department.
