Friday we went in for Samantha's one year check up. She got a couple shots, and cried more than she ever has at shots... the nurse said they would sting... awesome... and they had to draw blood from a toe prick to check for anemia... test came back just fine. She was weighed and measured per usual and while her head is still huge it's nice to see her weight starting to level off. Her head measured 47.2 cm (94th %) her weight is 23 pounds (77th %), and her height... well... we're not sure how the nurse got her height. I was with Sam the whole time and she didn't wiggle at all... somehow she measured her at 31 3/4 inches... which puts her off the charts. The doctor said he's not sure what happened there and to not be surprised if she doesn't grow at all between now and her next appointment. Josh and I measured her after he got home from work and we got almost 30 inches... big difference. Other than that she's doing great. She has super dry skin that acts up in the cold weather but we learned what kinds of creams to use. She has 7 teeth, still missing one on the bottom, and her molars seem to be making a move. She's been crankier than usual lately at bedtime and her gums sometimes seems swollen, only soothed by chewing on mommy or daddy's finger. But you can't see anything poking through or feel anything so who really knows! She says "mama" "dada" "ball" "hi" and her favorite... "uh oh". There's a lot of other sounds in there too but nothing we can really make out. She also has this really funny little laugh she just started during meal times. She's turning into quite a little character. We did a photo shoot this weekend and one outfit she wore she looked like a little girl rather than our baby... it was scary, but exciting all at the same time. Couldn't imagine loving any one more.
Photos from the one year shoot!
Yes we tried to do something to her hair to mimic her mohawk from when she was a newborn... there's too much there now for it to stand up so this curl is what resulted.

Adorable pics, I can't believe she's over a year now! I looked back to see how tall Claire was at 1 year and she was 31.5 inches which put her in the 98 percentile. So that's weird that they're saying a tidbit taller puts Samantha off the charts.
Ya it's weird but I think it's just because if you add a couple weeks past her birthday and that little bit... it was just off the charts. But it was also so wrong! Haha, I'll never know how she got that number!
