ONE YEAR check up!
Well, we went to the doc's yesterday and katie is doing great. she has gained her weight back since she was sick, 19lbs 12oz and she is almost 30 inches long and her head circumference is in the 80th percentile! nice big brain! We love going to our well baby appointments because we get to see our favorite doctor! she just had a baby herself who is about 7 months old and she is just super cute with katie. she really is a wonderful doctor and you can tell she loves her job, OH, and katie loves her which is huge cus katie isn't a fan of being in the doctors office since she got sick. Anyway as we were working our way through the checklist and everything was looking ok the doctor asked us to show her how katie walks and i knew something might be an issue because katie is still a tip toe walker. when she rests, one foot is flat but i have never seen the other one flat on the ground and when she walks with her walker, like at the park this week, she is tippy toe all the way! Well, turns out it is a little problem. the doc told us we needed to go see a physical therapist a few times just to have her stretched. her tendon is too tight and katie can't put her heel down because of the tightness. She said it may be a few week process but assured me that it was most likely due to habit rather than some other neurological problem which is a slight possibility but katie isn't showing any other signs of problems so she thinks its an easy fix! Despite the small hiccup we loved seeing Dr Meghan and even with two shots katie didn't really mind. well now off to find a good pediatric physical therapists! we'll see how this goes!
