Red face Really worried about diet!

Nevy hasn't been eating very well for the last 3 weeks. I thought it was her teeth but they have already come through and she still isnt eating. She has lost 1.2lbs in the last 3 weeks which puts her back to her 12 month weight !

I've tried EVERYTHING to get her eating. I even gave her chicken nuggets which she use to love! All she eats is fruit. Thats it nothing else. She use to be a great eater. She wont even eat her cheerios anymore. She doesn't drink that much water or milk either! I've noticed she is peeing less too. She use to have about 5 wet diapers a day and now its like 2 or 3. I'm really worried this isn't just the normal toddler fussiness over food. I wouldn't worry if she was eating only one or two kinds of food but the amount she is eating is less too. Here is a day with Nevy...

Breakfast:
Smoothie (banana & chocolate rice milk)
Waffle (eats about 1/2)
Gerber grad. Apples cubes (eats the whole 4oz jar)

Lunch:
turkey dog (eats like 2 bites. use to be the whole thing)
grapes (eats 1/2 cup)
Gerber grad carrot cubes (eats 2oz of them)

Dinner:
chicken (eats a few bites)
rice (eats a few bites)
strawberries (1/2c.)

She use to eat ALL her food plus 2 snacks. Now she wont even eat half her food and she wont touch snacks. Is this normal toddler stuff or should I be worried? She is acting normal. Stick active and running around. She is a little crabby but I figure its the teeth. I guess it wasnt until I saw she lost over a pound that I started to worry. Should I call her Ped. tomorrow?

Thanks ladies you always have answers!
