Elsa is a "picture of health" says the pediatrician. She now registers in at:
Weight: 14 pounds
Height: 27 inches
She is tall, 75th percentile for height. This is why we have to wear some 9 month clothes. She just is too tall for some of the 6 monthers. Jordan took her in for this check-up, since I double booked myself. (oops!) I had told Jordan that I thought Elsa looked pale, so he mentioned this to the doc. The doc says, "Tiffany actually noticed this?" Apparently breastmilk's iron levels drop around now, and that is why we start rice cereal (iron-fortified). As a result of the drop in iron levels, the child can be paler. How funny! I just thought she might be under the weather. They will check her iron levels at her 9month appointment, but it is completely normal and expected for kids to be pale.
A Healthy Elsa is a blessing.
