Jenna had a couple of doctors’ appointments this week. The first was the dreaded eye doctor. He told me it would be a good idea to bring her in at 12 months since her brother’s eyes are so bad. Thankfully, her eyes are not as bad as Hunter’s. All they can measure at this stage is astigmatism and she’s about a +2.5 in each eye (nearsighted). Since it doesn’t seem to be affecting her development, no glasses at this point. Yay! He said some doctors might prescribe glasses, but he wants to wait.
Her other appointment was her one year well baby visit. She’s doing great, but still on the small side. 10th percentile on weight and height…no wonder it looks so weird for her to be walking already. And she still has a monster head (97th percentile)…my kids and their big heads…they get it from me, I can’t deny it….
Jenna also started the bigger infant class this week and over night, she was walking all over the place. Last week, she pretty much would walk a straight line from somewhere to mommy. Monday, she was independently taking off from one place to another. This continued throughout the week, so she is officially walking now. I can’t believe how quickly this happens!!! My baby is now a toddler!!!
And my toddler is a big kid…Hunter got his hair cut again this week and it makes him look ever older than he already looks. He has a habit of twirling his hair, so he’s got a pretty bad bald spot, and I think he had started twirling just above his forehead because it was getting really difficult to “fix” and not look super thin. So we chopped it off, hoping he won’t be able to catch it and pull it out while twirling. Keep in mind that we NEVER actually see him twirling his hair. He’s either doing it in his sleep, or after we put him to bed, or in the morning before we get upstairs. He’s very covert…
We are headed to Port Aransas on Thursday. Everyone is very excited, especially Hunter because he wants to see where Nemo lives. A much needed vacation. Will post pictures once we are back.
