Last week I stopped by the pediatrician's office to pick up some papers for Jordan's therapy and I asked if I could have a weight check to see how she's grown in the past month since her g-tube was put in. Jordan weighed 16 lbs 10 oz.
That's a whole pound gained in a month!!!!!
At 6 months she weighed 13 lbs 9 oz and was still only 15 lbs 10 oz on the day of her surgery at 14 months - it took her 8 months to gain only 2 lbs and we now have a full pound in one month!!
Today at the geneticist's office, they measured her length and she was 28 1/4 in long. At her last feeding therapy on 8/12, she was 27 in. That's over an inch growth in length in just over a month! Again, we are very pleased to see this in her. In fact, we notice more than anything that she's starting to look longer.
When charted, she is now only slightly under the 5th percentile for length and is actually the length of an average 10 month old! Her weight is catching up, but is still significantly below the 5th percentile and is the weight of an average 7 month old! She still needs to keep packing on the pounds!!
I guess that means I should start lifting weights because this girl is getting bigger!!!
