Doctor Check-Ups and Growing Up

Turning a year old comes with a lot of perks. Cake, presents, lots of hugs and kisses from family and friends. And then, there is the one year check up at the doctors office. We woke up early and headed in to see Susie, the wonderful office PA. After a good check, Ellie looked great! We only had one issue regarding her tummy, but Susie felt it was because she had just had something to eat. We will go back in 2 weeks just to make sure. As for how Ellie is growing, here are her stats.

Ellie’s 1 Year Stats
Weight: 22 Pounds 12 Ounces
Height: 31 Inches

Ellie gained some weight but dropped to the 50th percentile, I am not shocked though because she has been growing and eating like a bottomless pit. In height, however, she has grown nearly 3 inches since her 9 month appointment. She is now in the 98th percentile for her height. I think we are going to have a tall and skinny girl on our hands. I guess we will see what happens as time goes on!

Ellie keeps growing and growing! The changes she has made in the last few months have been incredible. She is walking like a pro now and more and more of her personality is coming through. She is a big cuddle bug who loves her time with mommy… and daddy too. Ellie loves to talk and sing. At times I can hear her trying to sing the Alphabet song as well as Old McDonald. She may not know the words yet, but she certainly has the melody. As for words, she has said a few things…

Gog = Dog
Raff = Giraffe
Guck = Duck
Uh Oh

All stages in life are fun, but I do enjoy watching and listening as words and sentences are spoken. Finally breaking some communication barriers. I look forward to the next few months and cannot wait to share all of those moments.
