Corie's 1-Year Measurements, Etc.

I forgot to put down Corie's measurements from when she went to 1-year check-up at the Dr. So, here they are:
  1. She weighs 24.67 lbs. which puts her in the 93%.
  2. Her length is 30.12 inches, which puts her in the 82%.
  3. Dr. Marsden said her growth pattern is text book perfect. He said he's only seen a perfect growth pattern on a child a couple times in the last few years! So, I'm grateful to know she is growing just the way she should be.
  4. Corie started walking shortly after turning 11 months old. It happened the evening we were decorating the Christmas tree, November 25, 2011. She just up and walked 8 steps on her own. After that she was off! She quickly figured out how to stand on her own and use her balance. I think this came from jumping so much as an infant. It really built up her leg strength. She loves to walk everywhere!!! Rarely will she crawl now, which is great for keeping the knees in her pants longer now.
  5. Corie is completely off of baby food and cereal, which is no surprise. She's been eating "human" food for a while now so it wasn't a big deal.
  6. We have begun weaning her off of the bottle. I started this right after she turned 1 but, she caught a stomach flu bug, so Dr. Marsden had us wait until after Christmas to try again. So, we've started and I have FINALLY found a sippy cup that Corie will drink from! I've tried 4 or 5 different kinds. She loves cows milk so, hopefully the bottle will be gone soon! I think it may be harder to wean my husband from using formula and a bottle.
  7. Words that Corie says are Mom, Dada, Wow, Ohhhh, Bye-bye, and no-no. She waves a lot now, whether it's bedtime or leaving or waking up. I've been trying to teach her sign language but, she hasn't picked up on that yet.
  8. She's been especially clingy the last few weeks. Don't know if it was because we were around a lot of people for the holidays or she wasn't feeling good or what? She's seems to be doing better now that we are back into a routine.
  9. Corie is still on all of her meds. for her acid reflux, etc. Dr. Marsden feels that she'll grow out of it by the time she's 2. I sure hope so.
  10. Corie likes to point too!

What a cutie! Charlie is the same weight and about 1/2" taller. He is getting good at walking now, but is such a cautious little guy. It would be fun to see them play together sometime!
