Little Peanut at 15 Months

Miss Addison had her 15 month well check up today!   I was finally able to talk to her pediatrician about  the possibility of a dairy allergy.  Dr. Connie agreed that there is some kind of intolerance going on but didn't want to go as far as diagnosing her with an actual allergy to it since it doesn't cause a reaction that makes her throw up or get hives.  She recommended that we continue to stay away from dairy products and then reintroduce them when she turns 2.  If she still has issues at that point then we will do some more extensive allergy testing.  She told me to experiment with different types of milk like Coconut and Almond to see if I could get her to drink those so that she could get some calcium.  If in a couple of months she isn't drinking more of some kind of calcium fortified beverage Dr. Connie said we should start some kinds of supplement to make up of the lack of.

Because she hasn't been drinking any milk she didn't gain any weight in the last 3 months.  She weighed in at 20 lbs 2 oz. which is the 35%, she is 31 inches tall which is the 70%.  So she stayed in the same percentage range for height but dropped a bit in weight.  Dr. Connie wasn't too concerned at this point but I'm sure if the trend continues we will need to make some adjustments in her diet.  She is right on track developmentally and checked put perfectly in every other aspect!

Baby girl had to get 3 shots today and did not care for them one bit!  Poor little thing just cried and cried.  She took an early nap and slept for 2 hours and then got some tylenol and seems to be feeling ok now.

Here is a little of what she is up to today at 15 months old...
*Wears size 12-18 month clothes
*Wears size 3 shoes
*Wears size 3  diapers
*She goes to bed around 7 pm and wakes up between 7-7:30 am.
*She takes one nap each day around 1 pm and it's anywhere between 1:30-2:30 hours long!!
*Loves giving kisses and even says "mwwwwaahh" when doing it :D
*Says "mommy" "dada" "nite nite" "ruff ruff" when she sees a puppy and "cheese" when taking picture
*Shakes her head no when she doesn't want something being offered to her
*Still isn't walking but she stands up unsupported.  She just won't take those unassisted steps yet.
*She has 10 teeth...both 4 on top and bottom middle and then 2 top molars.
*Dances every time she hears any kind of music
*Loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
*She loves shoes (just like her mama) Any time we are at a store with shoes she throws a fit until I try some on her :D.
*She loves taking bath still and thinks anytime we are in my bathroom it's bath time!

She is just such a sweet heart and a happy girl almost all the time!  I am so thankful that God has blessed us such a special gift.  We just love our little Lady Bug to pieces!!  I can't wait to see how she changes and grows as time goes by.  Here are some sweet pictures I snapped this afternoon of our sweet thing at 15 months old!









Oh my mercy what a little doll!!

She is such a cutie! Our kids (as well as us) drink Almond milk! We love it! Plus, it has 50% more calcium than cows milk and is easier for our bodies to process! We like the sweetened vanilla! I hope you find something that works for her!
