The One Year Check-up

Yesterday in the late morning, I was giving Reilly her lunch when the phone rang. It was Shawn's mom, Donna.

"Whatcha doin', Brian?"

"Feeding Reilly."

"Want some help?"

"Ha-ha-ha."

"No, really, I'm downstairs now. Buzz me in."

"Seriously?"

"Yessssssssss."

So, I buzzed in Donna, and Reilly was able to spend a surprise day with her grandma. Reilly was a little shy at first, but warmed up to her grandma by the time we had to leave for her doctor's appointment.

Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Reilly's 12 month check-up went exceedingly well. She was pronounced healthy, both cognitively and physically, and as nurse Doris said, "Is growing on her own curve."

To that end, here are her statistics, as generated by this percentile calculator:

17lbs, 13oz = 4th percentile
2 feet, 4.5 inches = 24th percentile
46cm head circumference= 73rd percentile

These stats match up pretty well to those of her 9 month check up. You can review them by clicking here.

Since we're leaving for a week of vacation out on Cape Cod tomorrow, I'm posting Reilly's Week 52 pictures a day early. Check back tomorrow for a special "From the Archives" post.
This week's pictures feature two kids stuffed in a swing and Reilly's first cupcake. Please click here to view.


Cupcakes taste good!
