Birthday aftermath and a check-up

It's done, the party is over....  but boy oh boy, did she have a good day!

She beamed from sun-up til sun-down....

We had a group of family and friends over in the morning to celebrate and Colin's aunt and uncle came later in the afternoon and for dinner...

Despite her not understanding the concept of "birthday", she knew everyone was there for her.  She smiled and giggled all day long.  It was a good day, an enjoyable day of watching her squeal and laugh and thoroughly enjoy herself....

Having a birthday also means having a check up and that's what we did today.  Never to be taken for granted she received a clean bill of health although she "forgot" where her nose was when the doctor asked!!!

26 lbs. 10 ozs. - 54th percentile

34.5 inches tall - 37th percentile

20 inch head circumference - 97th percentile (full of brains you see!)

The doctor commented that she was tall and thin...  HA! Our child TALL?  I had to giggle but seriously she does look tall and thin despite her height percentile.  I'm not big into percentiles because I don't feel it's fair to compare children to each other but she has certainly come a long ways from below the tenth percentile in weight and height - her head was always bigger than the 50th percentile...

Thank you to everyone, near and far, for remembering her on her birthday and making it such a great day!
