12 Month Checkup

Yesterday we went for our 12month checkup, here are her stats:
  • weight: 21.11lbs (60-70%)
  • height: 31in (90-95%)

In one year, Adelyn has gained 13.15lbs and grown 9.5inches. She also got her MMR, Hep A and Chicken Pox vaccinations. Dr. Thompson told me that there is no 'off limit' food (ie, peanuts, honey, etc), and now that she can have whole fat cow's milk, I can start to wean. It is a bitter sweet thought. On the one hand, I am ready to have my body be my own again, it is just time; but on the other, she isn't my baby girl anymore and she doesnt need me in that way. So each week we are to start replacing one nursing a day with milk from a sippy cup until eventually I decide to stop completely. I guess we will wait and see how long it takes for her to not need me and for me to not need her. Will update on that progress later....

She is also now old enough to switch to a forward facing car seat. We will do that this weekend, when Paul has time. I know she will absolutely love being able to face out and see everything! I cant wait, as I am sure this will make the longer car trips much more tolerable :)
