~ 1 YEAR APPOINTMENT ~

Keira had her 1 year appointment today and weighs 15.5 lbs. (Tiny... we know!) I've been really anxious about this appointment and am glad it finally came. Keira is in good health over all and is such a happy girl. She gains weight very slow and this is nothing new to us. She has never really been a good eater and we talked with the doctor today about our concerns. We always hoped that she would eat better as she gets older... but nothing has really changed. Keira is terrible with textures and we still continue to work with her on that. Her pediatrician mentioned that some babies have a hard time with textures and it seems like Keira is on bad end of it. We switched her medication for reflux from Zantac to Prevacid. Hopefully that will help a little and do a better job. The doctor is not super concerned but is still wanting to run some labs to see if anything is going on. We are also going to take her to a GI doctor to check things out. We just struggle so much with getting her to eat and she has never really had a desire to eat from day one. It's been super stressful as a mom to have to feed your child many times throughout the day when they refuse it half the time. I think Keira will always be on the tiny side and I think as a first time mom I definitely worry too much... but we just want to get things checked out just in case. Maybe she just needs the stronger reflux medicine and that's it! Or maybe we do just have picky little eater! We will keep you posted! We love Keira so much and think she's perfect and we are glad that she's happy and healthy and fun!
