Abby had her 12 month appointment yesterday. She has gained a whole…12 ounces in the past month, so current stats are as follows.
Length::28 inches
[[17th percentile]]
Weight::17 lbs, 3 oz
[[1st percentile according to the charts the doctor uses, 2.6 percentile according to the website I’ve been looking at. Either way, she’s staying about the same, so the doctor’s cool with it.]]
Head Circumference::17.75 inches
[[50th percentile]]
Weight-for-height::13th percentile
Abby’s been having a lot of fun pulling up on furniture, Mommy, boxes, walls, & crib rails. She’s discovered there are things above the floor [like cell phones, remotes, & laptops], which are just asking to be pulled off the coffee table!
Abby likes to explore the house too, crawling under whatever furniture she can, like tables & chairs, & into small spaces, especially to find her bibs, which are fun toys. She also tries to crawl into her car seat to play with the toys on the handle.
Abby still loves to eat, especially dessert! She loves yogurt, cheese, & ice cream, but whole milk doesn’t seem to agree with her little tummy just yet. [She kept spitting up after having an ounce or two of milk. ] We’ll just keep on with full-fat cheese & other dairy, & the doctor said to wait a few weeks, then give the milk another try.
In addition to whatever signs Abby knows, she is starting to say ‘words.’ Well, sounds that seem to be associated with specific things:
‘dadada’ for Daddy
‘mamama’ for Mommy [when she’s crying!]
‘ba-ba,’ signs ‘milk,’ or points to her bottle when she wants milk
‘wawawawa’ when she’s getting a bath
When she saw the stuffed kitty she got from her Great Grandpa & Grandma for Christmas, she whispered ‘cat,’ & we’ve heard her say ‘dog’ too.
Moral of the Story: Baby Girl’s growing up!
