Maylee Rayne at 18 months

Miss Maylee had her 18 month well check a couple weeks ago and she had only gained 7oz from her last appointment. She is still in the 2nd percentile (18lbs). Her DR was disappointed as he had hoped she would have had a growth spurt by now. I mentioned to him that she has had diarrhea for several months now and so after discussing a few things, he wanted me to take her off of gluten for two weeks and see if the diarrhea would go away. If that didn't work, I was to take her off of dairy for two weeks. It was either that or get her blood taken which would have cost me $530. So, for the past two weeks she hasn't had any gluten and it's helping! I am new to the gluten-free diet so its been difficult for me to find and make food for her. I went to the Gluten World store and spent $36 on 5 items. I don't want to do that anymore! I feel the need to take her off of dairy for two weeks to see if that is a problem as well because that runs in my family.
Otherwise she is doing great! She is officially in a size 3 shoe and 12 month clothes. She talks a lot and has the cutest voice. She loves Barbies, animals, babies and her blanket. She climbs on everything too! Her DR gave me permission to put her in a forward facing carseat although she isn't 20 lbs yet and she LOVES it! Grandpa Stock gave her the nickname Just Big Enough and it fits her so well. She is tiny but she keeps up very well!

*I let Maylee pick a picture of herself for this post. She would look at the picture and then look at me and pretend to eat something just like she is in the picture. She would then giggle and do it again and again...
