.:Reece's 15 Month Appt:.

Reece had her 15 month doctor's appointment today. Here are the stats:

Weight: 20 pounds - 11th percentile (she's up from the 4th - yeah!)
Height: 31 inches - 70th percentile
Head Circumference: 18 inches - 66th percentile

Her pediatrician was so happy and impressed with her growth and development.

We brought in some videos of her tensing to see if that would help him have any ideas about what is going on with her. Her tensing has grown so frequent and just seems to be getting progressively worse, so we feel like we've got to do something about it. He was just stumped since she is so right on track in every area; whatever's bothering her doesn't seem to be affecting her development at all. He also really doesn't think it's urinary reflux (our original thoughts of what it might be) since she doesn't have uti's. But he agreed that it couldn't keep going on like this. Since he is not sure what it is, he is referring us to a neurologist to see if they can get a read on what is going on. We can't get in until February 16th, but I'm glad we at least have the next step set up. It is so sad to watch and feel so helpless to help her.

But even with her tensing, she is still so perfect in every other way! We're so blessed to have her in our family, and can't imagine our lives without her!

Mom filled me on the tensing - poor thing. So glad that it's not affecting her development. She gets cuter and cuter every day! Dang.
