Well, yesterday was Hannah Dean's 12 month check up at the doctor and lets just say it wasn't our best day. She is doing great and is right on track with all of her developmental milestones but the appointment ended with 3 shots, 1 finger stick and an ear infection! Yikes. She was not a happy camper - so Mommy and Daddy didn't take any pictures to record the moment. She was snotty all weekend but I wasn't worried because this was the 2nd time in two weeks plus I knew we were heading to the doctor anyway. BUT I didn't expect an ear infection. So, we are home today taking antibiotics and running the humidifier at full speed.
The other interesting item is that her pediatrician gave the green light to start the process of transitioning to cow's milk. Very early on Hannah had trouble digesting milk proteins so she's been on a special formula for about 9 months. The formula worked miracles for her little belly but it has slowly removed all the enzymes she needs to process milk. So, we can't just stop giving her formula and start giving milk. We have to do it slowly by mixing the two together in different amounts until we end up with just milk. The doctor thinks this could take 6-8 weeks, depending on how her stomach handles it. SO, we aren't ready just yet to stop buying formula but we are working on getting rid of the bottle and Hannah doesn't seem to mind much.
Even with all the shots and snot, Hannie is doing great. She wasn't too happy most of the appointment but she still managed to show off a couple of times for the doctor.
12 month stats:
Height: 28 3/4 inches (25-50%)
Weight: 22 lbs 1 ounce (50-75%)
Hannah eats great, is just the right weight and height and still has those beautiful blue eyes!!! Hope they stay.
