Tuesday she had her 1 year check-up. Seth had to come with us because preschool was cancelled, and the office was running way behind. The kids were squirrelly, and I couldn't blame them. Amelia was 18 lbs 13 oz, and 29.5 inches long. I weighed her twice (and zeroed the scale myself the second time...yes, I know it's bad that I didn't trust the nurse) because it's unbelievable to me that she weighs almost a pound less than Seth did at that age. She's only half an inch shorter, she just looks like she's got so much more to her than Seth did (I don't mean that in a bad way, Amelia!). She got a good report card and was rewarded with four shots. Her big brother yelled at the nurse during the second one, saying "Hey! One is enough!", which I thought was pretty darn sweet. Then we had to go across the plaza to get labwork drawn, and Amelia added a band-aid on her middle finger to match the two on her thighs. Seth got a sticker at one place and a piece of candy at the other. Again, freeloader!
Amelia is slowly starting to sleep later in the morning (and by later I mean usually after 6am but before 6:30). She developed a love of popsicles when she was sick last week. She is drinking whole milk, which she's kind of mad at me about. She's not walking yet, but has started letting go when cruising, so I'm sure it won't be long. She loves to give kisses and hugs, especially to her daddy. She has started playing with shape sorters and stackers, which her brother is more than happy to help her with. She loves to read books, and whenever she sees a blond boy she says it is her bubba. So cute!
