Well today Brie went to see her general pediatrician. Overall she is very happy with how Brie is growing and developing. She feels that Brie is on target developmentally for her age. Yesterday Marcus took her to see the developmental ped and their neurologist and she did very well.
Their only concerns were that when she walks holding our hands she is on her tip toes. Other than that they could find nothing wrong. We are to encourage her to walk with her heels flat and they discouraged us from putting her in her exasauser because it allows her to be on her toes. Brie loves her exasauser and spends a little time daily in it so mommy can get some things done and take a shower so that is one recommendation we will likely ignore.
Brie is now able to get into a sitting position on her own. At the ped office tonight she asked me if she was able to do it and I said I had not seen her do it and then as if on cue she got from her belly to sitting. Sunday morning she also said mama for the first time. Marcus and I were both there and it was pretty clear so we think that is officially her first word.
Her latest stats at the ped office tonight were: height 25 inches (<3%), wt 16 lbs (3%), and head 17 in (18%). The percentiles are for 10 months. We did not figure out what they are for her adjusted age. Dr. Stefurak is happy that she is following her own curve and has moved up on growth chart in all areas except her height. Marcus and I are pretty sure she is not going to be tall so we are not worried.
As for her feeding we are about the same. We tried a few days of yogurt and on the 5th day she vomited a portion of almost all of her bottles. Today we did not give her the yogurt and she did not vomit so it looks like milk products are going to have to be avoided. We will likely trial them again in a month or so.
