Tuesday Emma had her 12 month check up.
Unfortunately Dr.McCormick was booked up for weeks and weeks, so we saw Dr. Herring.
She was no Dr. McCormick, but we still thought she was good.
Here are her stats:
Weight - 20 lbs 3 oz. - 25%
Head - 18 in - 50%
and wait for it...
Height - 30 3/4 in - 90%
Say what?!
This is the 1st time in I don't know how many check ups that she is not in the OVER 97% percentile! Don't let my sarcasm fool you, I am so happy that her growing length wise has slowed down. I don't mind a tall kid, but I don't want her to be totally taller than 97 other kids her age. Being taller than 90 other kids her age is bad enough.
Drinking some juice at the doc's office.
We kinda got scolded for giving her juice.
Doc said, "just make sure she drinks water most of the time, otherwise she will think that everything has to be sweet."
Well doc, if it is going to keep her quiet for a doctor's appt. during nap time, then by golly, she will drink the sweet stuff!
Got your tix to the gunz show?
Pretty irresistible!
So yes, Emma's weight did drop a tad from her 9 month check up. She was at 50th percentile then and down to 25th percentile now. She didn't seem worried, and in fact said that it was normal because Emma was "so active." True dat! This kid is on the go constantly.
I think the doc just took one look at Douggie and me and then realized, "well she must get her height and slender build from her dad, because she sure doesn't get it from her mom."
Sigh... poor Marie!
Little Emma had 4 shots that day... ouch!!!
She glared at the poor nurse and screamed and cried.
Guess what calmed her down...
that would be her pretty shoes!
All we had to say was, "Look Emma, ooooh, let's put your shoes on."
Well, she may not get her body structure from me, but at least she gets her love of shoes from me!
Over all the doc said she was pretty much perfect, well we could have told you that. :)
