New Look

After many months of waiting, Kay went back to the pediatric endocrinologist yesterday.  Since she last saw him in February she has grown 2 inches; she is now 56 inches tall and 74 pounds. 

While her height has been an issue, our main concern has been the onset of  precocious puberty. But according to the endocrinologist, it is not uncommon for some 9-year old girls to experience chest growth and show other signs of development.

At any rate, she has to have another bone scan to verify her bone growth age. She'll see the doctor again in 6 months and that will be the end of it.

She had her scan done today, and then I took her to get a haircut. She looks so cute!  She has thick, curly hair, which I straightened BEFORE I took her to get it cut.  The hairdresser took off 4 inches, then quickly straighten her hair again. She looks so grown up.
