Hmmm....why did I think she was a year younger then? We'll blame my fried brains from having 2 kids. LOL! She's not that much younger than Laura after all. Laura will be 2 1/2 next month..so she's 29 months now. I give birth to petite little gals. But Laura also had a growth set back during her first year of life. She lost weight and we just didn't notice that right away cause she did gain in length still a couple months. But then that slowed down as well and with a few weeks the weight loss showed big time. Of course with the knowledge of it all now, I look at pictures and go "why didn't we catch it sooner?! It's obvious this was the start!" Tests were ran, keeping a strict feeding diary for months as well......all tests came back that she was fine, the diary proved that she had a wonderful appetite and ate very well. (better than she does now, picky little 2 yr old, LOL!) After months of doing all we could, right around her first birthday she suddenly started gaining and growing again. Because of all that she's on the low end of the growth charts for her age. But I suspect she's making up for lost time. Lately she's had a very healthy appetite. She's gone up 1 clothes size and 2 1/2 shoe sizes since Christmas. Can't really tell by looking at her though. She's a total flyweight.

Feel free to e-mail me. I'll send some recent photos to show her skinny little self. Wish I had the metabolism my kids have. hahaha!
