Syd had an eventful 1 year checkup today. I guess we were due for one seeing as she's been without any issues her whole first year. My chunky monkey had dropped to the 10th percentile for weight. Following the growth pattern she's been on, she should be about 21lbs, not 18. She was 17lbs 11oz at 9 months. Nothing a little Pediasure can't fix. We are to replace her 16oz per day of whole milk with that, or add some carnation breakfast essentials powder to the whole milk. Plus he said she needs to eat more, which is crazy to me because she eats non-stop! I mean, have you seen her belly?! We go back for a weight check in a month. She is 27" long. She also has an ear infection and threw up pretty bad in her crib last night. She got 3 vaccines-Chicken Pox, MMR, and Hepatitis. Doc said she is waaaay advanced in talking. She says 12 words now! Momma, Daddy, cat, baby, bear, up, stinky, thank you, hi, buh-bye, meow, and ruff-ruff. Her doc said most babies her age only say like one word other than mom and dad. We have to get her working on standing alone. I guess she's been busy talking and not practicing her walking. I'm sooo not worried about it. Everything I've read says by 14 mos. She does cruise and walk with a walker too so that's good. She also thinks its funny, when you stand her up, to fall so you catch her. Like it's a game. Silly girl.
