Tiny lady

For those who are interested in stats- Elise had her 9 month (actually 9 1/2 month) appointment today. She was 17lbs 5oz (20th percentile) and 29 inches (90th percentile). Tall and skinny!! Her growing has definitely slowed as she was 75th for weight and 97th for height at 6 months. It's never simple, for us, though...Elise's appointment was followed by a trip to the hospital for hip x-rays. Her pediatrician noticed that her skin folds in her diaper/leg area are asymmetrical, which could indicate a possible hip dislocation that could have been missed from early on (birth)...so...we should be hearing back regarding that later this week.

Poor little girl......like she hasn't gone through enough in past week with doctors. You are right, she is tiny. Philip weighs more than her by 3 pounds and is just as tall and he is just 7 months. She sure is a cutie pie!

Poor thing, now something else might be wrong?? Hopefully that wouldn't be too serious if that is the case!! She is a very cute tiny lady:-).

Kolter went in today for an ear check and was 21 12oz yet that was fully clothed. He goes in a few weeks for his 9mo. When Ellie was 4mo. I never would've thought Kolter would've passed her in weight as her little legs got stuck in my bumbo. At least she's still on the chats. There's nothing wrong with being tiny.
