Aoife's Appointment and I Won!!

We just got back from Aoife's 12 month appointment. It's kind of nice that the girls and I have the same doctor, though I was really missing their old doctor today. It was neat though. The office really focuses on reading to children, so at each check-up through age 5, you get a free book. Aoife got a board book of baby faces and different expressions. I think she'll like it.

Aoife had a rough morning. She only got to nap for about 20 minutes before I so rudely woke her and rushed out the door to the appointment. She was grumpy the entire visit, but everyone commented on her cute spring outfit. (Thanks Anma!)

She weighed in at 22 pounds 9 ounces (85th percentile) and is up to 29 inches long. (43rd percentile, which is weird!) Ross jokingly said that we have ourselves a shorty. I'm sure she'll even out in the coming months.

It's been quite the journey since she started out in the 0.05th percentile. Baby girl is well on the charts now and doing really well. She's caught up both physically and developmentally. She adores Claire and thinks she's just as big as her sister is. She loves following Claire around and HAS to do everything Claire does.

She loves to give kisses. And they're closed mouthed and oh so sweet. She puts on a serious face when going in for a smooch and then has the biggest grin. She has the ability to say, "mama", though she prefers saying, "dada". She also just started saying, "uh-oh" and it's the cutest thing.

She's curious and into everything and loves standing. I'm sure she'll be furniture surfing and walking in no time. (Which is terrifying, really.)

Today she had three shots, and then also had blood drawn. It's never fun pinning your child down, but she is a champ and is currently taking a much deserved, delicious nap.

My phone fell out of my pocket in the lab and I didn't realize until after we were buckled up in the car. I ran in to fetch it and had a voicemail.

A couple months ago I was at Papa Murphy's. While waiting for a pizza, I filled out my info for a drawing for Anytime Fitness. Turns out I won! They had multiple prizes, but I won a 2 week all access membership. Woo Hoo!! I'll go in on Monday and pick up a key to start my two weeks.

Honestly, working out has been the last thing on my to do list. And even more honestly, it hasn't even made the list. Maybe this is the kick in the pants I've needed to get back to a routine. Happy Friday!!
