Laney is our mighty mouse child. Tiny but strong! We're happy about the strong, but we definitely need to help her get a little bigger too. We have been very blessed with an excellent pediatrician. She has cared for all our children from day one, but she is also one of the top two leading specialists in our city for international adoption medical issues. Isn't God amazing? We picked this pediatrician 8 years ago, and now we have a daughter from China who needs extra-special attention and we have the *perfect* doctor. So awesome!
Anyway, she has encouraged us to load Laney up with as much good, whole foods as she'll eat...paying close attention to healthy fats. She has not had really any fat in her diet up to this point. She needs it for weight, height, nerve health, hair/nails, etc. Even in the 2.5 weeks we've had her with us, I've noticed a huge change in her hair. It was very dry and coarse when we received her, but now it is starting to get shiny and soft. Her skin is looking better too! Pink in her cheeks and a little more roundness in her frame. It's exciting to see her getting healthier each day. And this kid can eat! Yesterday she had 1/2 of an avocado, 1 small banana, and two scrambled eggs for breakfast. Isn't that amazing?
