Yesterday we had another appointment with the Plunket nurse to check on Isabel’s progress.
She is now 69.6cm tall, weighs 6.8kg (which is approx. 15lbs to those who only do it in old money!) and has a head circumference of 45.2cm – so for those that are interested, that puts her in the 97th percentile for head circ. , just below the 50th percentile for weight and in the 95th percentile for her height………….in other words a tall, skinny, big-head!
They were very pleased with her and VERY impressed with all her moving around – apparently I shouldn’t be bothered about her having no interest in sitting up as they much prefer them to do lots of rolling about instead!
We are still trying to expand her solid food choices – at the minute we can still only persuade her to eat Pumpkin and Sweetcorn (mixed veg and rice, broccoli and peas and potatoes, pear, apple all met with strange faces and lots of spitting!) but we will keep persevering!
Must run in the family…..our little monkey has the same kind of percentiles…tall and skinny with a massive head!
Glad you’re all well.

Dan used to llike mixed veg (frozen or tinned) mashed to a puree, with a little bit of grated cheese mixed in. Also a pear, cooked in lemonade till soft, then mashed up well. and mixed with a blob of natural yogurt. He also loved mashed banana and Heinz baby chocolate pud, in a jar. I would stick to one thing for a couple of days to get him used to texture/taste etc and also to see if he had any reaction/allergy to it, before trying another one.
