We had Elle's 12 month well-baby appointment yesterday. Here are her updated stats:
Weight: 22 pounds, 6 ounces (60 percentile)
Height: 30 inches (75 percentile)
Head: 47 cm (90 percentile)
And now, some random photos of Elle eating - action shots of how she has earned those stats :)
Mini cupcakes: Not a great source of iron.
Mmmm, applesauce!
Popsicles with Daddy:
A staple in a Florida summer
Brief, general Elle update: Elle needs to eat more of her leafy greens (translation: she's slightly anemic). She did great during the appointment, right up until the actual vaccinations, and really I can't blame her for yelling and crying at that point. Her sixth tooth is preparing to break through. She has added several words since my last update, including oops (from "Blue Hat, Green Hat," haha), neigh (like a horse), baaa (like a sheep), down ("dow"), potty (sounds like "boddy"), "dis" and "dees" (for "this" and "these") and "mo" for "more," which she also signs. She's been signing "please" and tries to say it, too, but it comes out as "geese," which is pretty much the most adorable thing ever. She's starting to move around the furniture a bit more while standing and continues to work on her strength and balance every day.
And now, a video of more and please:
And since this isn't really a "monthly update" post - just one that is supposed to update her stats after her well-baby visit - that's where I'll stop :)
What is it about babies eating that is so cute?! I can't resist taking photo's of Kale when he's eating. Speaking of Kale, have you tried kale chips? They're super easy to make and a great source of iron. Also, they don't "look" like a vegetable or have the same texture as a vegetable, so you might be able to trick Elle into gobbling them up! If she doesn't - you can eat them! They are seriously good!!
So cute!! Love the signing as well as the cake smashing! You have a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWe're doing iron drops because my kid can't eat more spinach than she already does. It makes her poop odd and black.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your kid might know WAY more words than mine, but mine could totally win in a tug of war or basketball match. :)
