On the move!

Update: 1-Year

We took L in to see the doctor for her 1-year appointment, but ended up spending the majority of the time trying to determine what was causing her 103 degree fever. We ended up skipping the 1-year appointment and taking tests to determine if she had something more serious. After a variety of tests, the doctor determined we were dealing with something viral and it had to run its course.

So...while I was out of town for work, I missed her follow-up appointment which turned into her 1-year visit! Mike did a great job fielding my questions from Texas!

For those family members who don't see L that often, here is the latest on our little peanut:

She weighs in at 18 lbs 7 oz (still tiny in the 15th percentile for weight), she is 28 1/4 inches tall (short like her parents - 25th percentile) and her head is still big...really big at 18 3/8 inches (85th percentile).

We are good to go for all foods except shellfish and we have transitioned over to milk!

And the biggest news of all...

Leighton is officially walking!!! We took our few steps a few weeks ago, but now we are walking everywhere. We're still wobbly, but she is quickly learning to keep her balance.

More videos/pictures to come!

My baby is 1!!!

I truly cannot believe my baby is one! She is growing up so fast. It feels like only yesterday when we were at the hospital and I was clueless (still am) of how to take care of this tiny little person.

We had a very exciting week leading up to her birthday. A lot of decorating, planning, shopping and the best surprise was that my brother, Brad, flew in for her big day!

Unfortunately, little L was sick leading up to and on her birthday, so although we were excited to party, she was a little less than thrilled.

Forget the terrible twos! We thought it was the flu/cold that was causing Miss L to get an attitude, but now, we are thinking that she has the terrible ones! Man...has she got the temper tantrums down pat. I'm pretty sure this is already payback for how I was with my mother. If this is any indication of what is to come, Mike and I are in for a wild ride. Boarding school anyone???

Thought we would post some pictures of the big day for those who could not attend :)
