Big Girls Don't Cry

Okay, well maybe a little bit! Our big girl had her 1 year doctors appointment this week. It went well and she is doing all the things a one year old should do. She gave the good doctor the classic Sofia stare down. For those of you who have met Sofia, you know how that goes. She was weighed and measured - 19lbs 14.6oz (9.032kg) the 28.52 centile and 2'5" (0.730M) tall, the 35th centile, which is not too bad for our wee Guatemalan girl. And then they gave her four, yes four, shots. Three in her leg and a TB test in her arm. She only cried a little and of course Mum sat back and couldn't watch for fear of colapsing in a heap on the floor. Heaven help me the first time she scrapes a knee and I have to deal with that.



These measurements would explain why Sofia's clothes are all getting a little tight. Well, that and the vast quantities of food she is consuming. She has been sleeping a lot lately too......I wonder if that is all connected with the growing thing. She seems to have just shot up and so, I have started purging her closet of all the baby clothes she just doesn't fit anymore. On my way through I found this little dress we had bought on our first trip to Guatemala. I had great plans of her wearing it on her first birthday. Well, lo and behold, it is so stinkin' tight on her and way way too short. We put it on (just) to get a couple of photos but unfortunately it will also have to go in the too small bin. Our girl is just plain growing up and I am not ready for that.
The word on the street is that she also slept on a mat at school with the big kids and not in her crib on Friday. Now how do you think Miss Wendy made her do that? Could it be peer pressure at school already?



Check out the little mark still from her TB test :-(


And, check out those new monster two top teeth. All the better to eat a New York steak with Mummy!! Bring on the good stuff, will ya?
