Birthday Fun

We didn't really go crazy for Elsie's birthday this year because 1) it's right after Christmas and 2) she really doesn't care. I was tempted to not even make a cake since I knew she wouldn't eat it. Aaron and I are both doing WW, so having a full cake around the house did not seem like a good idea. Aaron convinced me that we needed to make a cake (at least for pictures) and so invited a few friends over to join the party.

I took Elsie to the doctor this week for her check-up. She now weighs a whopping 21.5 pounds and is 31.5 inches tall. That puts her in the first percentile for both. I talked to the doctor about Elsie's eating habits. The doctor isn't super concerned about her weight (she is really fine for her height) but more about her nutrition. She recommended I go see this eating specialist to try to get some help. I'm not totally sold on the idea. It's not like I haven't tried a million different foods and methods of getting her to eat them...or even try them. She's just so stinkin' stubborn. It has to be her idea or there's no hope. We'll see...maybe I'll make an appointment and see what she has to say.
