stats and stuff.
Posted on | February 1, 2010 | 20 Comments
f i haven’t mentioned this before, i have 3 baby books for Harper. each of them have a few things filled out, because i like certain things about one and certain things about another. one actually has a page devoted to your baby’s first night of life. it has spaces for each and every time it woke up and what you did. ha. haha. HAHAHAHAHA. yeah, ok. ’cause that was gonna happen. don’t think H needs to fondly look back on how much percocet i took or number of times i made myself a giant maxi-pad/icepack/tucks/dermaplast diaper (or how many her dad made for me, for that matter).
so anywho, in order to have something to look at to someday complete said baby book(s), all of Harper’s stats go here each dr. visit. today we went to see dr. lavender. she was very impressed with Harper’s vocabulary and social skillz. she exclaimed when she came in that it just couldn’t be Harper’s 15 month appointment yet, it felt like she was just born. i know, right? le sigh.
here be the stats:
weight :: 20 lb 8 oz. – 10th %
height :: 29 inches – 10th%
noggin :: 18.75 inches – 90th %
in other words, she’s a contender for her own TLC show, but has a ginormous brain. i was SO relieved to hear she gained some weight and grew taller because she didn’t grow at all between 9 and 12 months.
here is what H is up to these days:
- wearing size 3 diapers and size 9 – 12 month clothes.
- walking like a champ, and tries to run sometimes. this is not at all terrifying.
- eating all sorts of food. her finickiness has gotten so much better. her faves are garden burgers, cheese, bananas, whole wheat pancakes, peaches, annie’s mac&cheese, carrots and carrot juice.
- is completely drinking whole milk. no more formula.
- says a ton of words. says “hi” to everyone, answers “yeah” to questions, “alright!” when she’s excited, “dadee” to Scot (still doesn’t call me anything, but whatevs), “uh oh” when she drops something, and can still count to two but has seemed to have forgotten three.
- knows what things are. if you ask her to bring you a certain toy, she knows which it is, usually. also loves to share.
- gives awesome kisses and high-fives.
- sleeps like a mad woman. 7:30pm to usually 8am, though she has been known to sleep until 9:30 at times.
- is generally awesomesauce.
since she had to get shots today, the rest of the afternoon will be spent cuddling. although i will admit, she was over it waaaay sooner than i was.

proudly sporting my super mama cape since 2008. i like to craft, eat noodles, tweet like mad, and long for more time with my handsome husband. i'm simply trying to navigate through the early years and come out on the other side with a kid who doesn't repeat words i use in the car. wish me luck.

I love the awesomesauce. Fair warning, I am going to steal it like I did her backup name and backup birthday party theme.
It’s better than stealing your actual baby, which gets harder to keep from doing every time you post pictures like that.

Those little ponytails make a baldheaded baby mama squeal. Soooo cute! Reading how much H sleeps makes me wanna cry (or punch you in the face) out of sheer jealousy.

She is such a cute peanut!! My son just had his 4 month checkup and is 18 1/2 lb and 27.25 in… i can only imagine what kind of tank i will have to put his carseat in by the time his 15 month appointment rolls around

she has been a great sleeper since about 5 months. i don’t know how we got so lucky, but i’m betting our next one will give us a rude awakening.

I would just like to say — I love your blog. I found it upon chance back in September 09′ when I found out I was pregnant and I am so glad I did. Harper is absolutely adorable and your writing style and quirky way of explaining everyday things make me crack up pretty much on a day to day basis. Thank you for sharing the life of your adorable little angel…you can’t help but grin everytime you look at her. You are truly blessed.

Eeeps. I love her, Mandy! And it’s probably a good thing she’s little. Imagine if she was super big. Your back is totally excited she’s a nugget!

I’m a little late to the comment party (I’ve been WORKING at work, imagine that!!), but I just had to laugh at H’s stats. Her head is ginormous!! I also wanted to mention that she looks almost creepily like Scot in the B&W pic. I actually had a little gasp. That’s not say H looks like a boy..or Scot a girl…you know what? Nevermind, she’s adorable. How’s that??
P.S. *has never experienced the dermaplast diaper (and thanks to some of you ladies, is scared to google things I read about on your blogs…), but is now officially scared to have said diaper…*

We did shots yesterday. BahHumBug.

It’s crazy how fast they grow up. Exciting but at the same time I wish I could preserve the tininess forever. Can’t believe how much she sleeps! I can only hope ours will do the same someday…siiigh.
