Yes, I know. We had Lizzy's WCC done late, again. (Not really too late seeing as she doesn't turn 16 months until the 9Th of May.) But not my fault! I had it scheduled for her 15Th month exactly, but then she got sick and then her Dr. rescheduled. Yada yada ya. Anyway, here is the report.
Weighed in at 17lbs 14oz. (She has gained a lb. since she was sick 2 weeks ago.)
That puts her in less than the 3rd percentile! Yes, I said LESS THAN!!
Here's a funny/sad story: When I arrived at the Seattle Airport last week, I immediately went to pick up my rental car so it would be ready when I got my luggage. The lady at the counter tried to guess Lizzy's age. Do you know what she guessed? 8 months old! EIGHT! She is so small. We are really working on packing on the pounds on her.
She is in the 25Th percentile for her height and her head is in the 50Th percentile. Funny huh? She has her daddy's head.
Lizzy is a walker now! Just to clarify, she has been able to walk by herself for quite sometime now, she just wasn't brave enough to take more than a couple of steps at a time. But the day we went and picked up Dave she started doing it all over! She'd walk all around the hotel room and down the hall to the elevator and around the stores! What a big girl! I guess she just wanted daddy to see her first time walking like a big girl. Now she is all over the place! More so than before. She is pretty speedy too. It's so cute to see her walk all over. I am sure she is off looking for some big adventures right now.

Lizzy's week
Mom, Lizzy and I went to Kentucky and Tennessee for vacation. We got back almost a week ago. It was a great trip. We had loads of fun visiting Sib's and nephews. Lizzy just loved her cousins!
Anyway, on the Saturday morning (4am) before we left to come back to Michigan, Lizzy threw up! In the morning she woke up and seemed fine. She ate a good breakfast then we got on the road. We thought that she must have eaten something that made her sick. Now, 6 days later, she is still sick! She has thrown up most every morning (between 2:30-5 am) and has had non-stop diarrhea. She won't eat hardly anything. She drinks alot of liquids though, which is really good. I have taken her to the Dr. 2 times this week so they can keep an eye on her weight. She weighed 18 lbs on her 12month check up and now, 3 months later she only weighs 17 lbs! You can see her ribs sticking out of her back, it's so sad. (I'm not sure what she weighed before she got sick, but I know it was at least 20 lbs. Likely more.) The Dr. said that she has a virus and we will just have to wait. I have to keep trying to feed her things like bread, yogurt, bananas, and oatmeal. She is going back to the Dr. today because now she is acting like there is something wrong with her right arm. She grabs her arm with her left hand and leans toward me and whines. If she is wearing a long sleeve shirt, she will pull the sleeve up and do the same thing. I hope we get some better news today.
In the midst of all this, Lizzy is still the smiliest little girl ever! I know that she's not be feeling well, but you'd never guess it when you look at her. She smiles and laughs, makes jokes, and talks alot.
I have to go wake her up to go to the Dr. now. If you would please remember Lizzy in your prayers, we'd all really appreciate it. Thanks, I hope you are all doing well.
