One Year Check Up

Harper finally had her one year check up with Dr. Peterson. She was happy to go to the doctor's office - Harper is always very friendly with the nurses and doctors. She enjoys showing off her smile and will let them listen to her heart and look at her eyes and ears without putting up a fight. Harper now weighs 19 lbs 12 oz (27%) and is 29" long (44%). The doctor was impressed with her fine motor and communication skills, but encouraged us to continue working hard on our little scooter's gross motor skills. She is hopeful that Harper will be pulling herself up and standing on her own in the near future. Unfortunately for Harper, the 1 year check up is a big one. In addition to her flu shot, Harper had four more shots and a finger prick. That is a lot of shots for a little girl but she only cried for a short time after some hugs and kisses from mom and dad.
