12 month check-up

We took Audrey to have her 12 month check-up today. She weighs a whopping 19 lbs 6 ounces and is 27 3/4 inches long. She is a petite little thing! While we were there, she recieved 3 scheduled shots as well as a flu shot. We have to take her back in a month to get another "booster" shot for the flu. Dr. L said that she was doing well and that she was "perfect", we agreed!

Headed to the doctor!
I had a ton of questions for him though! I asked him about feeding her (he said to focus now on food--not milk), bottles (he wasn't concerned about when she gave up the bottle-- he said not to stress about it. I LOVE HIM!), the H1N1 flu (not really worried about that either), her weight, her height, etc. (she's fine). Overall, the trip relieved some of my worries.

I did let him know that I was a bit worried about Audrey not eating any meat and he said that it was very common for children her age to not eat meat. He also said that one of his girls survived on cereal when they were her age. Basically-- she is getting what she needs! It was so much easier to feed her when she was strictly on a bottle. I knew exactly how many ounces she was eating and I didn't have to worry if she was getting balanced meals. Now, all I worry over is if she is getting enough veggies, fruits, etc. After seeing him though, I have calmed down a bit. I also worry about just giving her processed foods to eat but the child LOVES macaroni and cheese! She would eat it for every single meal if I were to put it in front of her. I'm working on coming up with more balanced, nutritious options for her. That is hard work for someone who doesn't COOK!! I'm learning though!
