L O N G morning

We had Q's one year appointment today.

She doesn't like shots or blood work. At all. And she remembered who shot her 10 minutes earlier when he came back to get blood. Not fun. My ears are still ringing. She's napping now though, which is not common these days to get a morning nap. Poor girl is also working on teeth 11 and 12 (yes, that's right, 9 and 10 were discovered last week when Nate and Nikki were here!).

She's 23.7# and 30.25"...80th percentile rounded off (75-85th). Head is...I forget but it was 50th percentile. So, she's growing well, but stabalizing! No more of this "mondo-growing" baby for us. He said to expect her to start taking off her shoes (ha ha, I can barely keep them on), start emptying drawers and cabinets (uhh, wasn't that 3 months ago?), babble (yep, she's been a talker for about 4 months too), and start to becoming a pickier eater (THAT HAS occurred this last week as she throws food aside when she doesn't like it or flat out refuses a spoon) who want to feed herself (see photo below...she likes to drink her food.).


She loves her new "home" (fisher price laugh and learn home) and slide (ooh, yet to take photos of her on that). We've been working on her going down the stairs feet first and "on her belly"...well, that's how she finally went down the slide on her own last night. It was so cute...she loves it!

And we have yet another visitor! Louis (Mike's post-college roommate) is in town for his birthday and he hasn't seen Q since last year at this time. So, she's quite a bit different. Poor guy got to listen to her scream while I helped him find directions to meet his friend in NYC. We think she just saw he was a guy and since a guy so recently stuck her with 4 needles, she didn't want to see his face. Sorry Louis! But, happy birthday yesterday. I made him birthday tacos and apple pie ... he seemed to enjoy them.

Now, off to enjoy the quiet while it's here...what to do.....laundry and dishes probably....oh the joys of being a Mom.
