Twelve Months and Growing

Addi girl went to her new pediatrician for her twelve month check-up on Friday. I was shocked when the doc told me that she had a severe ear infection. Boy did I feel like I deserved the "Worst Mom of the Year" award. Poor baby has not acted sick for one minute! Apparently she has had this ear infection for two months and two rounds of antibiotics haven't seemed to cure it. Hopefully the third antibiotic will clear things up and she won't have to get tubes:(



So, how did Addison measure up this month?:
22 pounds and 9 ounces (75th percentile); 31 1/2 inches tall (99th percentile)



This afternoon I was filling in her baby book and I thought I would share some of the things she is doing these days...
