1 year check-up

caroline went in yesterday for her one-year appointment. all is well and she is right where she should be. she cried after her shots but for whatever reason did not cry during or after her finger prick blood draw. her stats:

• length: 29 inches (45th percentile)
• weight: 20 pounds, 4 ounces (36th percentile)
• head circumference: 45.4 cm (59th percentile)

in other progress, she is so close to taking her first steps. she stands all the time but then instead of moving one foot to take a step, she tries to hop with both feet at the same time. she has taken a few stutter steps as a result of the hopping but no real intentional steps yet.
