Scarlett's Three Year Old Well-Child Exam

Today Scarlett had her three year well-child exam and while she is meeting (and exceeding in some cases) her developmental milestones, she is still extremely petite.   A while back, her pediatrician sent us to a pediatric gastroenterologist, which didn't get us much.  So her doc ran some blood work to rule out a few causes for her petite stature ... and everything came back normal and he chalked up her size to genetics.

Today's exam showed Scarlett is still a very tiny 22 lbs (she is small, but mighty!).  And she hasn't gained much weight at all since her well-child exam a year ago.

So we've been referred back to the gastroenterologist, and I assume they will do something other than tell us to increase her food intake.  She eats all day long, so it is definitely not a lack of calories. 

We're also being sent to a pediatric endocrinologist. 

But aside from all that about her petite size, she's healthy and doing fabulously!
