Claire had her 1 year check up with Dr. Johnson today. It also happened to be Jason's day off which I was so grateful for him to come with me since I knew shots were involved today.**Claire's 1 year stats are- she weighs in at 23 lbs 15 oz (85%) and 31" tall (95%).
she officially has 4 teeth that have broken through, with at least 3 more coming in (that I can see) She knows some signs like- more, please, thank you and all done. She loves being able to walk and sometimes that's all she does during the day, its like she doesn't know how to stop yet. She likes dancing, playing catch and loves to be outside. She knows when we put her jacket on it's time to go bye bye, so she'll start waving and if we're still not quite ready to walk out the door she gets a little temper.
Dr. Johnson had an intern working with him today so he came in and saw Claire, and she did awesome through all the poking and checking to see how she was doing. Then he says ok I'll be right back with Dr. Johnson...
Anyways Dr. Johnson comes in and proceeds to do the exact same check up , and Claire figured that she was nice enough the first time now she wasn't gonna be so happy. Oh well she survived 2 check ups, but now on to the shots. The nice nurse comes in and says she needs 3 shots today, Claire was drinking her bottle so I decided to let her keep it while the shots were given (in hopes it would ease the pain) I was wrong, once the first shot went in I looked at Claire's face, and I had never seen her hold her breath for so long, then came the long scream. I had never really cried before when they gave her shots but this time I got all teary because she was now old enough to know that we brought her here! Oh it was painful but she did survive
Later on tonight I changed Claire's diaper and she immediatley felt the bandaids, and started pulling them off (ouch!) So here she is playing with the last one , its so cute- pink camo. 3 seconds later she had that one off too!

What a BIG girl! I love the pic of her at the door... she wants to be just like Mommy & Daddy! So darling!
(looks like you're having fun experimenting with photoshop... good job!!)
Ohhh poor baby, not nice doctors to make her do it twice. That'll teach 'em.
The door picture is cracking me up. She knows her escape route.
She is so darling! Her smile is so sweet! LOVE the dimples! :)
Aren't those shots so sad? I usually bring my oldest with me to Porter's & HE starts crying & says, "Don't hurt my brother"! The silent cry always makes me sad...
Who knows, maybe Claire CAN see through the door at her height...
you'll have to pay attention next time & listen to her jibbers to know who's out there :)
P.S. we get crying moms all the time at Immunizations. Usually the kids stop way before Mom does.
