Growing Girl

April February

We had our 1 year check up this week. Cassidy is healthy and strong and according to the Dr, "looks fantastic". She now weighs 21lbs 10oz (65%) and 29 1/4 in (50%). and very busy! We didn't have to do shots this go round, we opted to not do the chicken pox vaccine yet and the other shots are at 15 months. We did have to get a blood draw though, to test for anemia. This was her first from a vein in her arm, not the old heel prick method as now her feet are getting tougher. She did much better than I thought she would, but she was not impressed! Here are some of her latest moves..

AND for Cassidy's Finale...

As of last night we are officially saying she has taken her first steps. She was a little wobbly here, she had been walking quite a bit before we thought to get the camera. Such excited first time parents! She is consistently taking a few steps now a few times every day. So look out world, her comes Cassidy!

Cassidy's favorite part about being a year old is her new car seat...She looks like such a big girl, and loves being able to see out better and see us!

Cassidy also got her first helmet, now she can start riding more, once she is able to leave it on. She had dinner in her helmet the first night and it's getting better, but maybe a few more dinners before she accepts the helmet and leaves it alone.

New foods, like Alfredo pasta, are also perks for a one year old .

Cassidy's new toys from her Birthday are a big hit!

Thanks to every one who helped make Cassidy's first year so wonderful and all the support for her crazy parents! It definitely takes a village, and we have a great one!
