Effie's 1 Year Check Up

Effie had her 12 month check up and she is doing great! She weighed 20 lbs 11.6 oz and is 30 inches long. The doctor said she is very tall for her age and she will probably grow up to be pretty tall. She is in the 36th percentile for weight. Poor baby girl got 5 shots and her blood drawn!! The shots were so sad but the drawing of the blood was even more sad. Gabe held her while the flabotomist drew her blood and I sang twinkle twinkle little star in her ear trying to hold back my tears and stay strong for Effie. The pink bandage around her left arm is where they drew her blood. After the doctor appointment we took Effie to Red Robin for a family lunch.

We are so blessed to have a healthy and happy baby girl and we never take her or our health for granted. Effie is developing perfectly and in some areas she is advanced. (I'm not just saying that because she's my kid...the doctor told us that.) ha ha. We are looking forward a lifetime of wonderful memories and joy with Effie!

Look Mama...I have a boo boo.Ouch!
Now she's a happy girl and check out that hair!
