13 month check-up and shots

Jane Ellis just got her 13 month check-up and despite teething and running a 102-103 fever for a few days (from teething) she's doing great! She weighs 22lbs 2oz (50th percentile) and 30in (75th percentile) . Dr Folz gave us a questionaire to answer on JE's developement - such as fine motor/gross motor skills, language recognition - and she could do Every One of them :) My sweet smart girl! She also needed some of her shots so she got the Prevnar shot- PCV (peumococcal) and the HIB (Haemophilus influenzae type b). We declined the flu and chicken pox vax - I will reconsider the CPV when she's closer to school age if she hasn't already gotten the virus. I just feel as though natural immunity is better and safer than synthetic immunity.


She's been learning her signs, slowly but surely. She can tell me thirsty, hungry, and all done. She doesn't like to snuggle and watch tv, she sleeps in her bed all night. She loves her naps and most of the time takes a long 3 hr nap after lunch. She still eats everything, but has to have almond or coconut milk because cows milk breaks out her bottom. Her favorite thing right now is to take things in and out of this drawer we have in the kitchen. She loves a hot bubble bath. She makes me smile all.the.time.
