12 Month Check-Up

Height: 29 inches  (44th percentile)

Weight: 19lb, 9.6 oz (24th percentile)

Someone wasn't too happy about this morning's visit to the pediatrician.  Even during the doctor's exam (before the shots), Eggy would scream and cry.  I had to hold her down so he could check her out.  Eggy appah was very little help because he was more worried about her crying while I was like, let's get this done.  The doctor was like, "I guess I know who the pushover is.  Haha"  I guess that means I'll be the lucky one that has to take Eggy to get her blood drawn.  crap.

Poor Eggy had to get four shots, one each in her arms and legs.  Ouch!  She got the MMR, HepA, Varicella (chicken pox), and pneumococcal vaccines.  She's got 3 more at her 18 month check and then she's done!  After her shots, she slept a lot but Eggy appah said she was in a pretty good mood for most of the day.  But she was really cranky and whiny after I got home from work.  Maybe she was still mad at me for taking pictures of her while she was crying.   

After the shots, damn, girlfriend was pissed.  She would not stop wailing until I played her a Moose and Zee video on YouTube.  In the car.  Then, she would yell at me every time it would end.  sigh.  I really am her bitch.  

Happy 12 Months!

Yeah yeah, we get it; you're one.  And no, I'm not a fob; I know the "s" is missing.  Eggy ripped it off and I couldn't find it.

Eggy's still not totally walking on her own yet. She still reaches for our hands when we try to make her walk. But she's getting there....

I don't know if it's because she's scared or what. I would say she's pretty cautious but sometimes, she can be a little daredevil. She likes it when I throw her in the air. And she loved the swing at the park the other day.

Maybe she's just lazy.

Since we had a big party, we kept it pretty low key for her actual birthday. Actually, we were going to have family pictures taken but it got postponed. It was supposed to rain yesterday and today so we cancelled the shoot. Wouldn't you know? It was nice and sunny the whole day. Stupid weather. I really wanted to do it on her real birthday too. Boo.

Instead, we went over to Grandma's (Eggy Appah's mom) house for dinner.  And of course, cake!

See, I told you Eggy can be cautious.  I think most babies would grab that cake with both hands and shove it in their mouth, right?  Not Eggy, she'd only poke at it.  

Maybe I might have put a little frosting on her nose to help her get started

which she didn't really like.

But once she tasted that frosting, she pretty much forgot about it.

My girl likes to share.
