One Year Check Up

We went to the doctor today for Laina's one year appointment.  She got 4 shots and cried really hard, but only for a second and was surprisingly happy the rest of the night.  I wanted to post her stats from today.

She now weighs 21.12 lbs 78%, 28.75 inches 33% (that's only .75 inches more since her 9 month check up!), head 17.75 inches 55%.

The doctor told us after we told him a little bit about our parents.  That pretty much our boys will be tall and our girls will be short.  They get their genes from the opposite sex is how it works.  So that explains why she hasn't grown much taller.  He said she would stay in the lower percentile from now on.  Laina's cousin is going to catch up to her quick!  He is 3 months and last time I checked he was 24 inches long!
Dr. Miller was also surprised that she doesn't have any teeth.  That's right ZERO teeth!  He laughed a little and said the oldest his seen is 18 months.  I hope she gets them sooner then that.  He said one of her tendons in one leg are a little tight and will just take another year to straighten out.  So when she walks sometimes her left foot is turned in a lot more then her right.  He will just check it out again when we go in next.  But no concerns she's healthy and progressing perfectly!  Yay!

Happy Birthday Laina!!

WARNING!!! This is picture central.  I just can't help myself or decide what picture I want to post and share.  

It was Laina's first birthday July 26th.  The day before we had a nice little "lady bug" birthday party with just our family at the Spanish Fork splash pad.  I think the kids loved it.  Laina was so funny eating her cake and super chill opening presents.  It was a really hot day (some of the balloons popped from the heat)  so I think that has something to do with her mood.  I think she had a great time tho.  

The next day on her actual birthday we took her to the Living Planet Aquarium.  She really liked the big fish.  She was so cute when she'd press her face up to the glass to look at all the fish.  Mady came and loved showing Laina all the interesting things.  We all had a great time!

The Otter's Den.  One of the otters jumped up on top of where we were.  That was pretty cool. 

Scary alligator in this shot.  I think Laina looks nervous..

An otter mask in the gift shop.  She didn't move the whole time she wore it.

I was showing her a shark mask.  haha

This type of penguin is just her size.

The biggest penguin in the world is Mady's size!

Watching the penguins eat.

I don't think she liked the shark.  haha  She's screaming it was perfect!

Then didn't seem to care so much with me.

The day before at the family party..

It was to windy so the candle never really lit.  So we just let her play with it for a second.

She wouldn't dig in.  Just touch it a little.  So I shoved her hand into it and then she really enjoyed it.

We forgot to get a picture of both cakes before they were cut.

She loved the splash pad!  And I did eventually put her swim suit on.  She was just covered in cake.

I was soaked by the time we left.

I just want to thank everyone that came and has helped make Laina's day perfect.  We love you all and appreciate all you do for us!
