Dinah’s 1 year check-up

Well Dinah had her 1 year check-up today. She is nice and healthy. Weighs in at 16 lbs 15 oz (dang one more ounce and she would be an even 17 lbs!) 3 pounds to go before we can put her in a forward facing car seat. She is 27 3/4 inches tall and her head circumference is 17 1/2 in. She is 2.21% for her weight (1.5% last time so there is improvement), 13.06% for her hight (10.9% last time) and 32.14% for her head circumference (30.71% last time).

She also had to get 3 shots 🙁 She knew what was up when she saw the nurse and she didn’t wait till she got poked to freak out. She just started crying and trying with all her little might to get away from me so she could get off the counter. She’s so cute. But other than that all is well.

Happy Bithday to Dinah!

Well Dinah turned 1 yesterday. We had a simple but fun party. Dinah actually fell asleep right before Granny, Laurel & Roine and the cousins got here. But dinner was good, Dinah got to open a present, and she did very well I might add. She actually ripped the paper off of the box. So cute. We finished the night up with cake. We had made her, her own cake so she could eat/destroy it all she wanted (don’t worry I made a little one). She didn’t get very messy though. He face was messy and her hands, and the high chair tray but the rest of her body stayed relatively clean. She is so cute. All in all it was a fun night, and Dinah had a blast.

Getting ready for Halloween

Well I got out the Halloween costumes yesterday to try them on. My rule to decide when it’s time to get ready for Halloween is when I see the costumes in the stores it’s time to get the ones we have out to try them on, just so that IF we need to buy something we know way in advance. There have been too many years where it’s the day before Halloween and we still don’t have a costume that fits. And when we try to go buy one, there is almost NO selection. So I try to make sure I take care of this early.

Thanks to Grandma we have LOTS of costumes now, and something seems to always fit everybody (but it’s always good to double check and make sure). So Ethan tried on a couple of costumes, that he likes. Tyra tried on a couple that she really likes. Dinah has a couple of costumes that fit nicely. And Jeremy just has Snoopy. But he wouldn’t have it any other way. He insisted on being Snoopy ALL day yesterday. Then this morning he woke up and pulled off his pjs and got the Snoopy costume back on all by himself. He’s so cute.
