One Year Check-up

Ella had her one year check-up today! She had a great check-up and appears to be very healthy!! We're still battling some reflux issues, but nothing major. We just have to put her back on her prevacid for a little while. I was hoping we'd be over that by now, but what I thought was a cough and congestion appears to be reflux. It doesn't seem to bother her - thank goodness! We went in thinking we were getting 3 vaccinations, but much to our suprise we only had to get 2 - yippie!! She didn't have to get the chicken pox vaccination because she had a pretty good case of the chicken pox when she was 4 months old! She did great with the shots....she only cried for a few seconds and then was back to her cheerful, happy self!! Thank goodness she's turned out to be such a happy, healthy little girl.....she sure didn't start off that way! Here 's a quick look how much she's grown in the past year:

12 Months:

Weight - 20 lbs (50th percentile)
Length - 29 1/4 in. (90th percentile)
Head - 17 1/4 in. (20th percentile)

6 Months:

Weight - 14 lbs. 14 ozs (25th percentile)
Length - 26 1/2 in. (75th percentile)
Head - 16 1/4 in. (10th percentile)

Birth:

Weight - 7 lbs. 12 ozs
Lenth - 19 1/2 in.
Head - 13 in.

We're not use to those 25th & 50th percentiles....the boys were always way off the charts!!! I kept asking her doctor, are you sure nothing's wrong with her? She assured me that she was fine....she is just a petite little girl!!


Look, I've grown this much!

I'm tough. I've got big brothers.....shots won't hurt me!
