1 year check-up

Ryah had her 1 year check up with Dr. Andresen yesterday.  She did very well considering she is a very active little girl.  The nurse completed her height and weight- no problem, but Ryah didn't want anything to do with Dr. Andresen listening to her tummy or looking in her ears.  Dr. Andresen is so relaxed and easy to talk to- and spends so much time with Ryah (I am sure he does this with all his patients, but it is so nice to see a physician take time for his patients).  Ryah received 3 shots and had her finger poked today.  She cried for a little bit, but then realized she had a snack waiting for her for being such a brave little girl!

Here are Ryah's 1 year stats:

* Height:  31 inches (94 percentile)
* Weight:  21 lbs 12 oz (58 percentile)
* Head Circum:  47cm (93 percentile)

At age 1 Ryah:

-loves to read books and turn the pages
    -loves going for walks in her wagon or stroller
        -walking by herself (with an occasional fall down)
             -likes to hide in cupboards
                  -still drinks from a bottle (not at daycare though)
                       -likes her paci at night
                            -hates having clothes or diaper changed
                                 -loves her Curious Buddies movie
                                      -pretends to talk on the phone
                                          -plays peek a boo on a nightly basis

Her new words are:
mmmmmma.... mom
da da.........dad
i ah............Ryah

I couldn't resist putting this picture on here.  Someday she probably will kill me- but I think it is so cute.  On Sunday we were outside by the pool with Alisa and took a little break to eat spaghetti o's and this is how Ryah wanted to sit! Alisa and I couldn't help but to laugh at her.
