LaylaBugs 1 Year Well Baby Check Up

Today was the dreaded 1 Year baby appointment where they poked my daughter with 4 (yes I said FOUR) needles and checked her from the top of her fuzzy little head to the bottom of her big little feet. She decided to celebrate the occassion by waking up a different shoe size. She literally went to bed a size 3 shoe and woke up a size 4 shoe. The shoes she wore yesterday would not fit even over her feet. Luckily I had another option.

She's 30 3/4" long and 20.1 lbs. That's 95% for height and 23 % for weight. She tested perfectly for all the other things we measure, talking in "mini sentences" and walked for the Dr when asked. (she likes Dr Scott)

After her shots she screamed for Daddy for 20 minutes straight when we got home. So I packed her back into the car and we went to see Daddy at work and grabbed a quickly breakfast (her lunch) before bringing her home for a nap.

When reading off the milestone marker list... she'd done most of the things on the 15 month old list already. Dr Scott said "that's super awesome" because he's Canadian and they say silly things like "super awesome".

He was also very entertained when it came time to check her throat and she stuck her tongue out like a rock star when I asked her too (think Kiss). I guess for most kids the gagging wooden stick is a horrible part... so we got lucky there.

All in all he said she was "brilliant" and "super healthy" and that I was doing an "awesome job" because she was "comfortable, smart and very friendly"

Yay for us!
