One Year Check-Up

Next time I will know not to schedule a doctors appointment 1 day before a birthday. We went today and because she does not turn 1 year old until tomorrow, she wasn't able to get her shots. Medically and immunologically, it makes no difference, but the doctor said that sometimes insurance will not pay for "scheduled vaccinations" if they are even one day before the scheduled time period. And schools will not accept any vaccinations that are given off-schedule and she would need to have everything redone before enrolling in Kindergarten. So, because she is one day shy of being 12 months old, we need to go back and get her shots when she is officially 12 months old. Just an inconvenience.

Other than the shots, everything went well. She is 100% healthy and not only meeting her developmental marks, but surpassing them. These are her tricks:

Walking independently
Gives "high fives"
When you ask her "who's number one," she sticks up her forefinger
Says: "da-da," bottle - "ba-ba", baby - "bay", bath - "baa", cheese - "shiz", "socks," dog - "dah", "ball", and my favorites; what is this - "whuzis?", what is that - "whuzat?", and who is this - "whozis?"

Vital Stats:

Height: 31.5 inches 99th percentile
Head Circ.: 17 in 77th percentile
