20 lbs and 6 Needles!

Today Keely had her 12 month well baby appointment. Here are the stats:

Weight: 20 lbs 1 oz
Height: 29.33 in
Head Circumference: 43.4 cm

She is doing great and climbing the chart steadily from birth. She's hitting all milestones that she should and was a great patient for the doctor. We were given the OK on weaning away from formula and also the OK to try peanut butter. Bring on PB & J's! Unfortunately with the check up comes the 12 month shots-5 to be exact and 1 blood lab draw, which equals 6 needles. Poor, poor Keely was not a happy camper. All things considered she did great. Her appointment was right in the middle of nap time and instead of falling asleep in the car like Mom wanted her to before the appointment, she stayed up the entire car trip (which never happens that close to nap time). So we had the Dr. appointment, visit to get shots, then lab to get blood drawn which led to leaving at Noon and no morning nap. Thankfully we were able to go my Mom's and had a much better afternoon.

On another note, I had my Dr. appointment yesterday. I'm currently 24 weeks and 4 days. My weight gain is right on track and everything still looks great. We listened to the heartbeat which continues to sound strong. Keely was with me for the first time at the appointment and had a blast listening to her brother's heartbeat. She was laughing and clapping and really entertaining Ms. Felicia (my midwife). So things are continuing to progress beautifully for everyone in the Duncan home!
