Audrey's 1 year Check up!

Well Audrey had her 1 year check up. Poor thing I did her shots at the Utah County health to try to save money (our insurance is a joke.) Anyways she ended up having to get 6 shots including her flu shot. My dr. is glad that at her 18 month check up he will be able to do her shots because he doesn't rush them like they do. Anyways Dr. Boettger is happy with her growth and progress. She weighed 21 lbs 50% (feew...she has been in a rear facing upright car seat for a while...opps) She is 28" 45% and her head is in the 75% (ha ha ha!) She is a sassy little girl. She was an angel baby and somewhat of a stinker as a toddler but she sure is a lot of fun. She is crawling all over and will walk along things or with her walker but not super interested in trying to venture out on her own yet. I am ok with that...Chris seems to think the longer they crawl the more athletic they are (ha ha ha...so maybe Auds will be our athlete!) Overall we love this little girl, she is a great sleeper taking two LONG naps a day and sleeps from 7:30-8:30ish. She loves to eat, we have nick named her miss piggy she will eat just about ANYTHING!!! We love her to death and sure are happy to have this little girlie!

Audrey 9 months

Audrey had her 9 month which just reminds me just how fast she is growing up. Her stats were 18lbs 30% height 26" 30% and I don't remember how big her head was but it was the 75%. She is crawling and pulling herself up. She has a new obsession CHE' any time he is anywhere near she gets so excited. She has started talking saying mama, dada, diddy (liddy), uh oh. She has also been teething like crazy, she is starting to get her two top vampire teeth as we call them. She is such a joy and is quite the little spit fire. She loves her daddy, and gets so excited any time he is around. We love our Auddy and feel so blessed to have her in our family!

Audrey 6 month

Audrey at 6 month's is nothing but fun. We had her check up she weighed 15lbs 8 oz (30%) she was 25 inches (25%) She plateaued a little both on height and weight but the dr. said that is very typical. He was impressed with her smiles and giggles, and how much she loved being on her feet. She got a couple of shots and did amazing, I would almost say barley a whimper from that little girly. She is so much fun, and everyday it seems that she get's more interactive. She is sitting on her own, and loves to play with toys. She is an absolute angel and such a joy in our family!

18 month check up!

Well we took Lydia in for her 18 month check up and got a few immunizations (including the H1N1 vaccination.) She is right on track and developing well. She is 32 1/4 inches tall (60%), 24 lbs (45%) and her head is 47.5 cm (80%) She is talking a ton and walking and running like the doctor would hope to see. She was so funny they checked her iron levels and she literally just sat there while they pricked her toe, she didn't make even a peep. But for the shots it was a different story. I can't believe how big my baby is getting I wish there was a way to keep her just the way she is!

9 month check up

Well Lydia had her 9 month check up on the 22nd of January. It was so fun to see how much she has grown. She weighs 17.1 lbs and is in the 30% which is a huge jump from the 15th %. She is 27 inches long and also in the 30% for height. And her head is in the 80%, what can I say she's going to be a very smart kid (ha ha ha!) Anyways Dr. Boettger is very happy with how she is developing, every question he asked about her development she is doing which put's my mind at ease as a mother. It is always a little nerve wracking when they start asking questions, because you can only hope that you are doing what you are supposed to as a mother! Anyways she got her iron level checked and was ok and her polio immunization which was so sad. But we love our little peanut and are so happy with how much she is growing and changing!

6 Month check up

Well we took Lydia to her Dr. 6 month check up. She weighs 12.14 lbs, is 25 inches and I can't remember her head I think it was 43. She is only in the 8% for weight, but the doctor didn't seem too worried. He reassured me that someone has to be in the 8th percentile. She is in the 35% for height and 50% for her head size. She got her immunizations, but only got part of them because she got her flu shot as well. She actually did a lot better this time, she slept quite a bit that day but her legs didn't get the goose eggs like last time. Dr. Boettger said I should start introducing a sippy cup, which we tried and she loved (she loves anything she can hold by herself..i.e. bottles even if there isn't anything in it.) He also said we should be expecting teething and crawling before her next big check up so crazy! So over all it was a good appointment...too bad we have to go back next month for the rest of her immunizations!

4 Month check up

Well we went in to Lydia's 4 month check up...even though she is really only 3 1/2 months old. She got her immunizations which Chris was there for, and so sad. And we also got the go ahead for solid foods. I gave her some rice cereal today and the pic show how much she enjoyed it. Anyways the doctor says that she is a healthy baby, although she is on the petite side. She is in the 35% for weight and height she is 12.8 lbs and 23 1/2 inches and 50% for her head she is 41 1/2 cm. Anyways he was also impressed with how much she loves to stand. Basically the whole dr. appointment she stood on Chris lap. Anyways hopefully our next dr. appointment won't be until 6 months!

2 Month check up

Well we went to the doctor's on Friday for her two week check up. She now weighs 10.05 lbs is 21 1/2 inches long and growing fast. I talked to the doctor because Lydia has been spitting up a lot lately, and sometimes it isn't just a drible it is projectile. So he prescribed some medecine for her reflux. It is so amazing she is doing so much better already. Also I asked the doctor about her colic, and basically he said it is because of what I eat. So goodbye to the following foods. Dairy, citric fruits and veggies, chocolate, coliflower, any caffiene. So basically good-bye to cheese, milk, milk shakes, chocolate, spagetti, BLT's...and many more of my favorite foods!
