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.
