Ella's 12 Month Stats

Ella is officially one year old today at 5:26am. Dad and Mom have been celebrating all year, but especially so the last three days which marks Mom's marathon 31 1/2 hour labor. Mom would do it all again... although not anytime soon :)

To mark the occasion - we thought it best to head in to see Dr. Gentile, get a check up, and throw in a few vaccinations for good measure.



The big 12 month weigh in:

19lbs. 14 oz.
29 inches tall



In 12 months my little baby has gained 12 lbs. 2oz., and have grown 8 inches!! Ella is 30th percentile for weight and 40th for height. Dr. Gentile says that she is just perfect. He was impressed with her standing and walking skills, and the fact that she has a handful of words. He also praised Mom and Ella for breastfeeding all year long. But mostly he appreciated all of the waving, clapping, laughing, and smiles. It was a hard thing for him to leave her for the needle nurse. But today it was only two small pricks - a flu shot and the chicken pox vaccine.

Next check up is at 15 months - how many more inches and pounds will that be??



Either way, with all of the playing...



It makes a baby awfully tired.
