1 Year Check Up


Charlotte had her one year check up today. It was a nightmare!! She absolutely hates laying down now that she can walk & run everywhere so needless to say, when it came time to lay her down to get her height and for Dr. Nick to do his check up, she threw a fit!! And that is putting it lightly! Somehow we  made it through the appointment and she was all smiles the minute it was over. Such a strong willed little girl and a big stinker! She is currently 31 3/4 inches tall which is in the 90th percentile and weighs 21lbs, 14 ounces which is the 75th percentile. She is a very tall girl and a good weight for her height. Her head circumference is 18 1/4 inches which is also the 90th percentile. Dr. Nick and the rest of the staff couldn't believe how good she is walking for only being 1 year old. She was running up and down the halls! 
She even waved and said buh bye to the office lady when it was all over. We stopped and got her a happy meal afterwards, which she wanted nothing to do with except the apples. She gobbled them up. At least we know she's a healthy eater! She is on a great bed time routine. She takes a bath every night at about 7 or 7:30 depending on how tired she is and is in bed no later than 8pm every night. We have completely cut out bottles. She has a sippy cup she takes to bed. We've also switched to night time diapers and she's sleeping through the night. It has been quite a challenge making the changes but luckily it didn't take too long for her to adjust. She's getting so tall that pretty soon we're going to have to upgrade her crib for a toddler bed, she is almost too long for it now!
Her next appointment is at 15 months old. Hopefully she does better at that appointment than she did at this one!
