Quinn had her 18 month well child check up today. It went well. Hooray!
Highlights:
* Quinn is on the charts in height and head for an 18 month old! (Her chronological age, we usually judge her growth against her adjusted age of 15 months.)
* Quinn's weight is following the same growth pattern that it should, although her weight is still under what it "should" be.
* We are keeping her button for at least another three months to see if her weight catches up the way her height and head have, although if she makes her daily calories on her own (like she has been for the last month) we don't have to tube feed her.
* We are going to increase her daily intake, and see if we can pack on some ounces and pounds.
* Quinn is hitting developmental milestones on track.
* She was friendly and charming the whole time. Waving hello, running around, playing peak-a-boo, etc.
* Quinn tried to pick pocket the doctor (one of her many skills), and admired his watch as she reached for it saying, "watch." He warned us to keep her out of jail.
* We can return in three months to discuss feeding, and her button, but can wait for six months if we want.
* She never stopped moving.
* The doctor was impressed with her lack of colds, and how great her ears looked. (Knock on wood.)
* She got one shot, and did not even cry. She just glared at the nurse, but was happy she got an orange band aid.
Quickest and easiest doctor's appointment we have ever had with Miss Quinn. Hooray! We love our doctor, and are so happy that Q is so healthy!

She's amazing! And charming and hilarious!
Such good news! Go, Quinn, go!
Yay Quinn! When Kian only gained 1/2 ounce in a month, we started using Greek yogurt, cause it's got almost twice the fat as regular yogurt. He packed on 1 lb in the next month. He loves the honey flavor.
