Sara had her 1 year checkup today and she is doing great! One thing that surprised me is that she doesn't weigh 20 lbs yet. One of the questions I had for her pediatrician was if we are feeding her too much. I guess the answer is no. The "rule" for turning her car seat forward is that she be 1 year old and weigh 2o lbs. She's not quite there at 19 lbs 12 oz. Her doctor said she is 1 and close to 20 lbs so turning her forward wouldn't be a problem. I think we'll wait until our next trip to Fort Wayne in early March so she can watch a movie in the car with Will. If she continues eating like she has been, I'm sure she'll be at 20 lbs by then. (see picture)
Sara weighed in at 19 lbs 12 oz, which puts her in the 25% for weight (down from the 50% at 9 months and 75% at 6 months). She is 30 inches long which puts her in the 50% for length (down from the 95% at both 9 and 6 months). One stat I normally don't pay attention to is head size. Her head is 18 3/8 which puts her in the 95% for head size, where she has been since 6 months! I never realized her head was big. I guess I should pay attention more. Her doc said she carries it well. haha. So long story short I think Sara is starting to level off on her growing for the time being. That is good for us because most of her winter clothes still fit maybe we can wait to buy new spring clothes in the next size. Yea spring!!!
