12-month Checkup Stats

June 17th, 2009

Hazel’s 1 year pediatrician’s appointment went very well. She is meeting all of her developmental milestones (and then some!) and she handled her three shots very well. She didn’t even seem phased by them after the initial sting.
Her weight has really tapered off- she is now only in the 30th percentile at 20 pounds 3.8 oz- nearly the same weight as she was at her 9 month appointment. She is a tall girl, though, and is still in the 75th percentile at 29 and a half inches, which tells us that she is steadily growing, just becoming long and lean. Her head is still gigantic. At first the reading was off the charts and the doctor had to re-measure to be sure Hazel wasn’t, in fact, turning into a bobble head. When she measured again her head was at 18 and a quarter inches, the 85th percentile. She’s got a lot of brain in that there noggin’.

Last night the weather was gorgeous so we decided to take Hazel down to Yorktown beach for a little sun, sand and a picnic dinner. Here are a few videos from our weeknight trip to the beach.
