10 Month Checkup

We have been trying to take Claire for her 9 month checkup, but she has been sick for the last month.  They don't like to do well baby checks and vaccinations when they're sick, so on the day she turned 10 months, Ranger was finally able to take her.  Here's the report:

Height: 27 1/2 in (30th percentile)
Head: 43 cm (14th percentile)
Weight: 15 lbs, 4 oz (1.3 percentile - not on the charts)

The doctors rounded her percentiles, but I used this calculator below to find the exact numbers.  When they said she was off the charts, I wanted to know exactly where she fell in weight.  Change the unit to pounds and enter 15.25 and see for yourself!  (Her bday is 12-7-10 and change to female)


By infantchart.com

So the instructions are to fatten her up.  Add butter to her foods, but not go overboard.  Give her formula, since nursing will not provide enough fat.  We started adding formula to her diet a month ago.  She likes it, but she doesn't usually take more than 4 oz.  She wants the real thing, and there are just too many more fun things to do than eat!  Last night we asked for a bowl of shredded cheese at On the Border and she liked that.  Any other fattening recommendations, appropriate for a baby?

Other than that, she got her flu shot and some other shot that I have no idea what it's for.  And she's already sick with a cold.  Poor baybay.
