Doctor Appt’s

Kaiser scheduled Maggie’s 1 year check up ON her actual birthday….yeah crazy right?!? BUT since we weren’t doing much I didn’t reschedule…since sometimes Kaiser can be a b*tch about getting appts.  So away we went for our littlests 1year check.

Mama with her babies at their 1 year check-ups…

Owen was my biggest 1 year old….Ella was my smallest 1 year old.
Maggie is my average bear.
Weight 18lbs 13oz at 35th percentile.
Height 28.74inches also at 35th percentile.

And a few days later we had her ophthalmology appointment. Dr. Duerksen is awesome.

He checks into her eyes to see if her ptosis is causing any brain or eye damage. We had to dilate her eyes this appt and it showed that her vision is more than 1 unit off from each other. Dr. Duerksen is hoping that we caught her in a weird growth spurt with one eye jumping out in front of the other. So we are coming back in December for a repeat appt. ps babies with eyes dilation is sad…they won’t wear glasses and their eyes are so sensitive.

Maggie didn’t like having her eyes dilated…so of course she screamed…AND big sister didn’t like hearing cry…SO we had TWO girls crying…and thankfully 2 nurses to help me! haha Oh The Beast is a bit of a drama queen. haha God love her.

Maggie is ONE

It amazes me on how FAST the last year has gone by. When Maggie was born I told myself, stop rushing and enjoy every moment…this is IT and its going to go by so fast! And it did.

September to October 2015

As you can see Maggie got LOTS of snuggles…from EVERYONE. The kids would fight me over holding her…Nana would fit me and the other kids to hold her! haha

But the year flew by!

Toward the end of these monthly pics you were HARD to keep still!! “Making” you lay down was torture…as you can see in your 12 month pic!! Oh dear Lord.

Usually a VERY happy baby. You were already walking by your first birthday…fastest walker we had. You eat everything…almost! Only have 2 teeth but you would never guess. We nursed until the week you turned one, only because you wouldn’t take formula…why to put some stress on mama!!

On your actual birthday we hung out at home. We sang you happy birthday a few times, you went to Martha’s since we had work and Nana was still in Ireland. Opened some presents.

Owen and Ella loved helping Maggie open presents. And Maggie LOOOOVED her baby! Shes a total girl. I love it.
