There's NOTHING going on. I repeat - we haven't done a thing in weeks.
We went from holiday to holiday for months, all capped off by one very crazy birthday party. Our lives were jam-packed for weeks with friends and relatives and parties and general chaos. Brooke's schedule was, in a word, out-of-whack. We were busy bees. But since then? Nada. Not a thing. I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a day or 2 where Brooke-o & I didn't change out of our sweats the whole day.
Case in point: In the first 15 days of Jan 2010, I took 243 pictures of Brooke. In the first 15 days of Jan 2011, I've taken 20. (And I took all those pictures last year with my point-&-shoot, didn't even have the fancy camera yet.)
OK, I guess we've done a few things. Nothing monumental, but I did take 20 pics of something, right? So let's think back to what we've done in 2011 so far...
Well, there was some adorable eating of Big Girl foods...
...and some help with some very, very early spring cleaning (or I guess you could argue it was very, very late fall cleaning)...
(Has anyone ever been this excited to vacuum or change sheets? I don't think so.)
...and just some general walking all over our house to find more ways to get into trouble.
And of course there was the obligatory thank-you note writing and the occasional Christmas gift returning. The husband had a few basketball games and I went to the grocery a few times. (Are you as bored reading about our January as we have been living it?)
Oh and there was also a trip to the pediatrician a few days after her birthday. A trip in which they said, "You have the largest 1-year-old in the history of babies. You really should contact Guinness." To which I replied, "Duh. You should try carrying her around all day." Seriously, though, she's still giant. The doctor was all "She hasn't really slowed down, has she?" and I was all "LIAR!" (That first conversation didn't really happen, but this one did. I called our pediatrician a big fat liar for telling me she'd "slim down" once she started rolling/crawling/walking/ running.) She's currently in the 50th percentile for weight...for 33 month olds. The 5oth percentile for girls her age is at 21 lbs. Brooke weighs 29 lbs 6 oz. Her growth curve, while the perfect shape, is just a tad above the rest, wouldn't you say?
Still no cause for concern, as she's growing appropriately and is still proportionate. She is 32.5 inches long, which is still way off the charts, but not as drastically. And, in my opinion, crazy because that means my baby is almost 3 feet tall! The doctor was super pleased with all of her progress. She knows so many more words than is expected of her, especially since signs are included in word count. She flips through books on her own, turning pages and pointing at things while trying to say what they are, which are important 1-year-old milestones (apparently.) The doctor was glad to hear her sleeping habits are pretty awesome now (always being put down awake, taking allstar-long naps, etc.) To sum up, she rocked her check-up. (It's my right as her mother to brag about her, no?)
Still more nothingness on the agenda until, well, Easter. No plans, nothing exciting going on around here. So try to keep your expectations low on the blogging frequency, mmmkay? Thanks :)
Just kidding. I'll try to take more pics and post more often. No promises.
