Check up stats

I had to take J.J. to her 12 month doctor's appointment so I thought I would record some stats for her. She weighs 21 pounds 3 ounces and is in the 54% (a big drop from when she was younger). She hasn't gained much with all the walking and toddling around she is doing. She is 29 1/4 inches long and is in the 51% (which is an increase from the 30's) so she is growing!! She still seems short to me;) And finally her head size is 18 inches which is in the 80%. She's always had a big head from birth thoughÜ They put my poor baby through the ringer today. She got three shots plus a flu shot and they took blood from her toe to check her lead level (they just got a machine that tells them if they have been exposed to lead which is awesome and covered by insurance) Have I said how glad I am that I switched pediatricians!! Thanks Jen! Anyway, her lead level is fine and I was sent off with a whimpering, sore baby girl. But I took her to story time with her sister and Grandma and she was clapping and laughing away and then took a two and a half hour nap when we got home!!! It sure does suck taking a healthy baby in and taking a cranky, not feeling good baby home;(

I know! Isn't that sad! She already felt hot when we were in story time. She had a good time though.

Oh J.J. is such a little doll! When I got her up after you left yesterday, she was just as happy as could be.....cuddly and loveable as usual. Then Makenna got up and they play so cute together. It was fun cuddling her while she took her bottle and boy, does she love her Daddy when he comes home!!
