13 Month Checkup and Things


Once again we were about a month late for Grace's wellness check.  This time, though, we went to see her new doctor.  I LOVED it!  Kurt will tell you that I was talking about what the doctor said for the next week!  Unfortunately, Grace was a little stinker for most of the appointment and cried for most of it.  Little did she know that at the end of the appointment she'd be getting 5 shots.  You thought you were unhappy before...!

GRACE at 13 months:

~Head circumference:  18.5 inches......90%

~Weight:  21.7 Pounds.....51%

~Height:  32 inches....98%!!!! 
Once again our little girl is off the charts in height.  I hadn't noticed her going through a growth spurt recently, so I was pretty surprised when they showed me where she ranked.

~Quacks like a duck.  (Love it!)

~Is afraid of the vacuum unless one of us is paying undivided attention to her while it is running.

~Has started saying "Hi" and "Dada."  Melts my heart when she says them together, and she isn't even talking to me!

~Has figured out how to get on and off of our couches. She loves to roll around on the soft cushions. Give her a blanket and she's in Heaven!

~Still chooses to crawl instead of walk.  She almost took a step today...and then took off crawling.

~Is learning the sign language for Lights and More.

We're getting ready to spend a week with my whole family over Christmas.  We'll have 2 toddlers under one roof....Heaven help us!


And now for your viewing pleasure....
We call this one "Why NOT to give your kid caffeine...!"
