I forgot to update after Livia's 1 year appointment. She is 30.5 inches tall (83%), weighs 21 pounds and 14 ounces (53%) and her baby noggin is in the 83% (not a surprise). The doctor said she's absolutely healthy and also told us the best thing we can do for her is to read to her, which we do several times a day so we're feeling like great parents :)
Unfortunately (and fortunately, depending on how you look at it) she had to get four shots and one was the chicken pox vaccine. She did really well the first 7 - 10 days after the shots because these were delayed-reaction vaccines; one possible side effect is a bit of a rash...well, call the FDA adverse reaction hotline because she looks like she has the chicken pox (you can kind of see them on her tummy in the picture). Luckily it's mostly on her tummy and back but a few cropped up on her face this afternoon. Mercifully they don't seem to bother her at all but we did buy baby benadryl today just in case. Poor little cheetah baby with her spots. I'll have to make the disclaimer at her next KinderMusik class so we don't make other moms worry.
On the bright side: it was really warm today in the house thanks to the sun so Livia got to wear her cute special cupcake birthday shirt.
