1 Year Check-Up











Kimberly had her 1 year check-up today. Everything looks great. She's still on the small side at 18lbs. 4 oz. (10th%) and 28 1/4 in. (25th%). Poor thing had 3 shots today. They were all new ones, so we'll see how she does. Supposedly they can get a fever for up to 2 weeks after having one of them.








Her doctor was impressed with the number of words Kimberly says. She even showed off for the doctor and said a couple of them there. She said it's typical for them to have one word by now: "Mama". Kimberly's list of words includes: Mama, Dada, Gramma, snack, tickle, dog, and duck. She has other words too, but they aren't clear enough that a stranger would understand them. Some of thsoe are: more, Patrick, outside, feet, and all done.








She's getting closer to walking. She will sometimes let go when she's standing up and keep her balance for about 10 seconds. She hasn't tried taking any steps on her own though. She loves pushing her baby doll around in her stroller, standing up with Gracie to play with her tags, and cruising along the furniture and walls. She's getting really good at climbing and maneuvering in small spaces. She loves to climb into her Bumbo seat and sit backwards, climb out of and spin around in highchairs, and climb up and sit on the couch cushions when I put them on the floor for her.
These photos are of setting up and playing with her new kitchen that we gave her for her birthday. Luckily once the doors went on it, she hasn't tried climbing it again.

CUTE!! It's so amazing how quickly babies grow and develop. I'm baffled by the fact that Micah's only 3 months behind Kimberly and he has a LOOOONG way to catch up. You're doing such a great job raising your kids Katy!

Cute kitchen! I can't believe all the words she can say; what a little talker! She's exactly the same size as Kelsey; 18 lbs and 28 inches.

Our little guy is also a year old and 18 pounds :) He walks but says NO words.
