Eisley's 15 month Stats

I LOVE going to well baby doctor's appointments! Eisley's 15 month was today. Other than a double ear infection, of which I had NO idea, she is doing great! She is off the charts developmentally but also off the charts for her weight. She officially dropped beneath 3rd percentile. She's a great eater and doesn't have any health issues so there's no need for concern there.

The area I do have concern is her aggressiveness - biting, scratching, hair-pulling. It's been going on since she could move, since she was 6 months or so, and she doesn't seem to care about any disciplinary/distracting/redirecting action I've taken. She also has some other quirky little things she does that are either just quirky or maybe related, not sure. She likes to put things over her head so she can't see and then walk till she bumps into something, she likes to walk or push herself on her stomach backwards, she HATES spinning, she loves really aggressive play and she always wants to be held. I asked the doctor about an occupational therapy evaluation and he said it wouldn't hurt. So making an appointment for her is next on my list. Hopefully we'll get some answers - either they can help or they can't.

Now for the hard cold numbers:
Weight: 18 lbs 2 oz - less than 3rd percentile
Height: 30.5 inches - 45th percentile
Head: ?? - 45th percentile

allie's always been tiny too (I think even tinier than Eisley). They eventually grow.

Hope things are well!
We need to do a playdate one of these days!

Oh, cute little Eisley! I never would have guessed that she is such a feisty little thing. :)

Selah is tiny too. She's 17 months and 19 lbs, but only 28.5 inches tall. It's funny that she also likes to put things (blankets, buckets, her daddy's big hats) on her head and then bump into things (a chair, the wall...). What's with that? I really think Eisley and Selah would get along great. :)
