We had Alayna’s 15 month appt last Friday and were really bummed to see that she hasn’t even reached 20 pounds yet! We were both shocked because she eats all the time and basically anything we put in front of her (zucchini, salmon, avocado, kiwis, mushrooms, pickles, pasta, you name it). The doc was not concerned at all just said she is one of those types who will be trim and fit like her mom (haha, well used to be anyway). He also mentioned he has a little one that was the same and not to worry. He recommends that we give her one bottle of pediasure a day and come back in a month to check her weight. She is 30 inches which is right on for her age so she’s not entirely a peanut! I think the worst part of it is hearing or seeing other babies that are way younger and way more than her for example at the Fun Days parade we met a friend’s baby who is 9 months and 20 pounds. Well each kid is different so as long as she is happy and eating that is all that matters. . . that is what I keep telling myself anyway.

Anyway, we did have a great weekend. Yesterday we went to my Aunt and Uncle’s cabin on Duck Lake for a celebration of Rollings birthdays. Brad threw in the pole for a couple sun fish and Alayna had no qualms about going up and “petting” or holding them. She also loved going up the many stairs from the cabin to the dock.
Today is our anniversary………7 years, wow that is hard to believe! It would have been nice to have a day like this instead of 90+ and humid, remember? Good times had by all!!!!

geez, Connor is already 15 lbs! Maybe we should lay off the milk... :)My friend's daughter sounds a lot like Alayna, and she's doing great, too!
