feeling small

i went with lumi to get a vaccine today, and she was also weighed and measured.  she is small!  her weight is well below average and so is her height.  she used to be around 50 percentile.  i feel quite strange about it, and have been plotting all day how to get her to eat more.  the funny thing is that she eats quite a bit -- sometimes it's a bit shocking how much, and it's more than other kids her age.  but i guess we need to be better about getting her protein and things like that.  she loves kidney beans, so i think we'll start giving her those for breakfast.  and she is still breastfeeding 3 times a day (or more on the weekends when we are together during the day and if she feels like she needs it -- like when she was running around the house this morning and slammed into my knee and got a bloody nose, which was a totally awesome thing to do right before we went to the doctor), but maybe we should supplement more.
