Karis’s 12 month check-up felt like a celebration. The doctor was pleased with her language
development and motor skills. His only
concern was weight (surprise), and he suggested we give her whole milk in
addition to the almond milk that she’s been drinking. He’d like her to gain one pound. The doctor also wants us to work harder to
enforce the use of a sippy cup instead of a bottle. I’m not concerned about that. I’ll keep offering her sippy cup every day,
but Karis will use it when she’s ready.
She does drink her juice from a sippy, but she likes her milk in a
bottle. Karis cried for her four
vaccinations, but she was fine for the remainder of the day. Big girl!
Karis is 28 ½ inches tall and in
the 30th percentile. She
weighs 17 pounds, 14 ounces and is in the 15th percentile.
Karis’s
new skills:
stands independently
can take two steps
signs correctly: more,
eat, milk
locates belly button and nose
pushes chairs and toys across the
room while standing
Karis had a blast
at her birthday party. The guests were
also entertained by her silly antics.
