one year wrap-up

we had brette's doctor appointment

and luckily, ronnie was off early enough

that he got to go too.

she weighs 22lbs 4ozs - 83rd percentile

and is 30 in tall - 80th percentile.

her head was 18cm - 75th percentile.

my big ol' adorable one year old.

i liked it because i got to ask all

my questions i've had for the last 3 months:

how many ounces of milk should she be getting?

is 2% okay or does it need to be whole milk?

is the rash on her arm normal or an allergy?

what do i do about her gross motor skills?

the answers:

between 12 and 18 ozs.

whole milk for the next three months,

then you can do 2%.

totally normal, not an allergy.

meet with a PT for help.

yep, we were referred to a physical therapist at children's mercy,

AND we have someone from first steps coming over.

our pediatrician thought it might be time since

brette hasn't really had any great breakthroughs in the last 3 months.

she is still just sitting and rolling over.

there is some scooting going on,

but nothing to write home about.

i'm so excited to get the help and

to get this baby on her feet.

unfortunately, our PT can't see her for another 6 weeks.

blah.

but the good news is, the lady from first steps

will be here thursday.

i'm so excited to see what she has to say.

 

 

in other news - brette's lip stayed swollen

for a couple more days after my initial post.

i had our family dentist see it and he thought it was infected.

i called our pediatrician and they thought it sounded like a mucocele.

in the end, i just left it alone and it healed itself.

thank god.

but i'm not excited to see the ER bill.

wah wah.
