Today was Amelia's 1 year check-up. Her appointment was 9:30...I know it doesn't really sound THAT early, but when you have to get up, get ready and get two little girls up and ready and loaded into the car, plus drive the 25 minutes into the city because you refuse to change clinics...its early. I have to make their appointments early though, because our pediatrician tends to get very behind, and it's better than waiting in the waiting from for an hour. It sucks when you are the one waiting for him, but it's nice once you are in with him, and he takes the time to really answer all of your questions and develop a personal relationship with you. So, you just have to take the bad with the good sometimes.
I woke up shortly after Christian left for work to shower and get ready. The girls remained passed out after their late night. I actually had to wake them up to get them ready to go. I felt so bad, but they cooperated pretty well.
The appointment went well. Amelia weight in at 18lbs9ozs, which puts her in the 10% (and she's up 3.3lbs since 9 months). Honestly, I find this extremely hard to believe. They had her sit on the adult scale rather than using the infant scale, so I think the read is off a little just because of that. I just cannot believe that it took her 9 months to double her birth weight, yet she packs on over 3lbs in the next 3 months? Not likely. She only measured in at 27.5", also in the 10% (and only up .75" since 9 months). So, she's just a petite little flower all around.
Everything else went well. Her lungs are still clear, so he's still not too concerned about her breathing or snoring. Her ears, eyes and everything else looked great. She's meeting and exceeding all of the developmental milestones and is doing well. She got her shots, and did NOT care for them in the least bit. But, both the girls got stickers and lollipops out of the deal, so I guess it was worth it. So, that was it until 15 months. Hard to believe 15 months is really just around the corner!
After the appointment, we ate some lunch and took some naps. This was the best nap time in a LONG time! We ate a little dinner while we waited for Christian to get home, then were all off to the park for a while. It's still super hot out, so we didn't last too long, but it was nice to get away for a while. Then, we all played downstairs for while, until it was time for bed. Now, we're just looking forward to a weekend of no plans. YAY!
Here are some pictures from our evening.
