12th Month Well Visit

Audrey had her 1 year check up today.  She had 2 shots and a finger prick and she did great.  She's on track developmentally and the pedi's only concern is her weight. 

Stats:
Height:  27 inches
Weight:  17.3 lbs
Head:  17.5 inches

Bigger than at 9 months but still small.  I'm not worried.  He also checked her ears and says she has a double ear infection.  It seems like everytime we go to the doctor, she gets this diagnosis.  The crazy part... SHE HAS NO SYMPTOMS.  That's what I told him... she seems completely fine.  He of course wants her on Amox so I'll go for that and we get rechecked in 2 weeks.  The whole treating ear infection thing is so up in the air.  If it doesn't clear up in 2 weeks, he'll want her on a stronger antibiotic but the last time she tried Augmentin she got sick, so we are not going that route again.  If this scenario plays out, then we will most likely take her to an ENT for a 2nd opinion. 
I'm feeling like we don't have a pediatrician that listens very well.  Frustrating.  Need to figure something out.

Ok, night for now.
