Experiments in Life

Well, Jon beat me to posting about Emily’s doctor’s appointment. However, I have the data you’ve all been waiting for! I have her 12 months stats! Here are the numbers that you’ve been craving.

weight: 22 lbs (75th percentile)
head circumference: 46 1/4 cm (75th percentile)
length: 30 inches long (90th percentile)

Holy cow! My child is a giant! She is now mostly wearing 18 mo. sized clothing. She also has about 4 teeth coming in on the top. The front two are through but I believe she is cutting the teeth on either side of the front teeth as well. There has been lots of drool and snot as a result. She’s also taken to chewing on everything.

Also, she has now discovered the joy of teasing the dogs. This morning, she was eating cheerios in my lap. Well, of course Dante was interested. So, she would grab a cheerio, hold it out to Dante, jerk it back after he had sniffed or licked or gotten near it, then shoved it into her mouth while giggling at the same time. What a picture that was. I felt really sorry for Dante. He kept looking at me like “Why are you letting her torture me this way?” I have been told that I use to do the same thing as a child, so I guess she is definitely my child.

Well, that’s all I really have for now. I am trying to get us ready for our big trip next week. Tomorrow we leave for Gatlinburg. We are so excited. Of course, it has been busy and hectic for me this week trying to make sure I have everything we need and then trying to pack it all. We’ll be finishing up the packing tonight after Emily goes to bed.

Emily goes back to the doctor again at 15 months. Stay tuned for those numbers.
