Katie's 1 year well baby visit

[heathrowga]

Katie had a good doctor's visit. She's 30.5 inches tall (75-90%) and 22 lbs 5 oz (50-75%). She also has a big brain pan, but I don't recall that measurement off the top of my head. Amelia was relatively good during the exam. She demanded the doctor listen to her heart as well, and the pediatrician was happy to accommodate. I asked the pediatrician about Amelia's potty training, and she reaffirmed that I know my daughter best, and not to worry that I'm coddling her.

After the doctor visit, Katie took three steps unsupported, but once she realized what she was doing, she dropped down to the floor. Tom and I know that she can walk, she just doesn't think she can yet. :D

Last night, we ran out to Babies R' Us to look at a new stroller for Katie. We've basically killed the lightweight Combi that we bought when Amelia was born, and the umbrella stroller is just too tippy. We chose a $40 Baby Trend stroller with shade, snack tray, and basket. After 2 coupons, it ended up being only $25. Score! Even if we only use the stroller for another 6 months, that price is paltry.

Last night, Tom had a bad reaction to a medication he's taking, so he's at home today recovering. Amelia kept waking up last night, and I wrenched my knee while going to check on her. We're quite the pair! Luckily, the TiVo has kids programming galore, and the kids have approximately 48,932 toys with which to play.

I think Alex is fast approaching that number of toys as well. And yet, her favorite activity seems to be repeatedly emptying out the diaper bag after I fill it up. Oh, and yesterday she spent half an hour rolling around the floor and talking to a diaper (unused). Go figure! Weird little human beings.

They're quite funny. It's amazing what holds their attention!

I'm going to have to go to zone defense when I'm here alone during the days.

Congrats on the wonderful well child visit with Ms. K! It always reassures me when those particular visits got well.

So, it sounds like you need more toys - you haven't reached the 50K limit yet! We're getting rid of lots of Duplos - want them? *wink*

Good lord, no! We're so set on Duplos.

I'm going to pack up a few garbage bags full of toys and donate them soon. It's just absurd!
