One Year Appointment...

MG had her one year appointment (1.5 months late :-) with Dr. M on Friday. She weighed 22 pounds 12 ounces and was 31.5 inches. She's staying consistent with her brother in the height category. We may have another skinny toothpick on our hands. She had the head to toe checkup and received three immunizations. If history repeats itself, we'll be feeling the wrath of those three little injections for the next week or two.

We went through the laundry list of "does she ___? does she ___?" and I was so happy to say YES to all of her questions. I was chomping at the bit for her to ask me how many words MG has. We counted them beforehand and I think I may have shouted NINE when she finally asked. For those who know how significant words are at our house, I am happy to share those nine with you...

Dada, Mama, Zsa Zsa (J), byebye, sheshe (Hershey), da (done), mmmm, boo (book), and ba (ball)

AND since I am sharing her accomplishments, she EVEN has three signs that are making life much easier...

all done, more and eat/drink (Technically, eat and drink are two separate signs but she has one for both. It is her universal sign for put SOMETHING in my tummy right NOW).

She's checking off her milestones right on time and we couldn't be more excited! Not a big deal to some but a huge deal to us. We love you Ms. Suzanne (and all of our other Early Intervention friends), but I don't think we're going to need your services this time. Thanks, but no thanks. :-)
