1 year dr appt (Sept 29)

Haley had her 1 year checkup today.  She was not too happy a camper because the ladies at daycare had to wake her up from her nap when I picked her up.  But we had some milk & goldfish and that seemed to make things a little better. 

Dr. Baugh was very pleased with her stats and her checkup. 
  • She is 32 inches long, which was off the charts for 12 months old - essentially equal to the height of an 18 month old, he said.
  • She is 21 lbs 12 oz, which is in the 60th percentile
  • Her head is 18.5 inches circumference, which is 90th percentile. 

He said that her height to weight proportion is very healthy and where they like it to be. 
She has had a runny nose & cough all week and did have a fever yesterday. Unfortunately, Dr. Baugh found an ear infection, so we will hold off on her next round of vaccines until 2-3 weeks from now, when she goes back for her ear follow-up.  But they did prick her finger for an anemia test.  We started a once-per-day anitbiotic this evening for the ear infection, and are really hoping it does not mess her tummy & bootie up too bad.

She slept for 2 hrs today at daycare and would have likely slept longer had I not come to get her.  So, I was very happy to see that.  She seems to be adjusting OK to all the new changes at daycare:
  • No more morning nap
  • Moved from crib to cot
  • No more passie at naptime
  • No more bottles - sippy cup only
  • No more warm milk - cold
  • Since we got the OK from Dr Baugh today she will start on whole milk monday.
  • Moved to the older kid menu (still tiny pieces tho)
  • No more breakfast at daycare - has to eat at home, then gets a snack at 9:00
  • Apple juice with a snack
That's about it for now....hopefully she will get to feeling better soon !
