12 Month Well Check

I just went to the doctor this morning for my 12 month well check. I was really happy there until they started taking blood from my finger. The silly nurse didn’t understand why I didn’t want to hold my hand still for her. Duh! Then she gave me 3 shots in my legs. All the poking really hurt my feelings and took me a little while to recover. It actually wore me out so bad I fell asleep on the short walk home. I go back in 3 months for another check up, and in 2 weeks I go to another doctor for my plugged tear duct. Here are my latest specs if you’re interested.

Height: 29 ¼ inches - 50-75 percentile
Weight: 18 pounds 7.7 ounces – 10-25 percentile
Head: 18 ¼ inches – 75-90 percentile

Peanut Butter

This is what I look like after I lick peanut butter off of a few crackers. YUM! YUM!

Animals

Animals are one of my favorite things right now. I love to look at books with animals, see animals outside, and pull my toy puppy around on his leash. The other day I tried to take my neighbor dog on a walk with his leash, but he didn't want to go. A couple weeks ago Grandma Carol took me to a real big zoo. Once again my favorite animals were the penguins. They had some really neat little birds that were fun to watch too.This weekend I went to the county fair twice. I loved the little piglets the best and saw a lot of farm animals I'd never seen before. Did you know I can say 'horse'?

We went to the library for the first time today and checked out some new books about animals. I think I'll learn the names of some new ones this week.

What Does a Puppy Say?

What sounds like static is actually me saying 'f' 'f.' I say what a puppy says before you hear my mom asking me and then I say it again. The other new things my mom thinks I've said this week are my name and Sydney. I say more things but she doesn't know what they are. She's supposed to be good at making kids talk well. I think I'll be good practice for her.
