Amelia at 14 months

Last week we were finally able to go to the doctor for Amelia's 12 month visit. We do like our new pediatrician although it does not have quite the same feel as Pediatric Partners did. Our new practice is much bigger so it does not seem as personable. However, they have an aquarium and train in the waiting room which Amelia LOVES! What she did not love was having to get 3 shots! That part is never fun. I always love finding out her height and weight and since her last visit was at 9 months I knew it would be a big change. So here they are:
Weight: 21 lbs 9 oz 25-50%
Height: 30" 50%
The doctor said she looked great and everything seems to be right on track! So thankful to have a healthy girl! The main thing we will be working on now is getting off the bottle and formula and adding more foods. This has been a challenge since Amelia seems to have alot of food sensitivities. The doctor gave me some good ideas and options and depending on how it goes we will determine if we need to do allergy testing in the next couple of months.



Amelia is so very observant! I love seeing her take in the world around her. It is so cute the way she loves to point out all her observations to us. I think Christmas will be so fun this year as she discovers all the lights and decorations. Another thing she loves is the weather channel! She gets so excited when she sees the 7 day forecast with the sun and clouds pictures. Maybe she will be a meteorologist one day. =) It amazes me all that she understands. She is not using many words yet, but her recognition of the words we use is incredible. We find that we already having to spell words like bottle, outside, bath, and food. Use of any of these words can result in a meltdown if not acted upon immediately! ha! She has really been walking alot lately. Crawling is still her preferred method of getting around, but she is getting more and more mobile.
Each month gets more exciting as she continues to learn and grow. I look forward to what is ahead!
