Weekend Review

Megan had her 1 year check-up on Friday afternoon. She weighs 16lbs. 6oz. and is not even the 1% anymore for weight. Everything else checked out fine. She is 20% for height and head. Our doctor didn't seem to too worried that she is so small. She did gain a pound since her 9 month check and has been crawling and walking a lot more since then, so she is burning more calories. We just need to be sure she is eating enough and we will see what her 15 month check brings. She started off a peanut and is staying true to that for now. She did get 3 shots and had to have her hemoglobin and lead levels checked with a blood test. Both came back fine. Kelsey's eat infection from the past week also was gone. Thank goodness too because giving her medicine in the morning was not a pretty picture. After the doctor, we went out for pizza with some friends. After dinner we went to a carnival at my school. Kelsey and her friend Ava had fun playing games. I was pretty tired by the time we got home from all the hubbub of the day. Saturday morning we had pictures for the girls. The timing didn't work out the greatest because Megan's doctor appt was rescheduled for the day before and I didn't put two and two together that the immunizations might affect her. I figured she is a smiley kid, and it would all work. Not so much :( Megan wanted absolutely nothing to do with getting her picture taken. She would see the camera and push it away. Kelsey on the other hand was hamming it up big time and I know we got some great shots of her. Our photographer knew I was disappointed, so she told us to come back on Sunday to see if we could get a few more family pics, shots of Megan, and shots of the girls together. Following picture fiasco day #1, we came home and vegged for awhile. Kelsey, Megan, and I napped (which was awesome!). Megan seemed to get better as the day went on, enough that she went to Grandma and Grandpa's house so Matt, Kelsey, and I could go see The Lorax. Kelsey has not been to a movie since her first one when we saw Tangled. She was great during the movie! A few times she seemed a little lost so I would try to fill her in on what was happening. She leaned over once and said," This movie is actually pretty good. Maybe we can buy it when it comes out." After the movie, we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's to hang out for a bit before calling it a night. Sunday morning felt like the movie Groundhog's Day because we got ready again, put on the same clothes, and went back to the photographer's house. Megan was in a better mood, but as soon as she saw the camera, she wanted nothing to do with it again. We did get maybe a couple of shots of her, but nothing at all like I hoped for. It is strange because Megan is such an easy going, smiley girl. I would not have suspected that to happen. I definitely left a little sad. It is supposed to be nice out this week, so I am hoping to try to take a few more pictures on my own in the nice weather. I think the mixture of getting shots, having a little cold, and cutting a few more teeth equaled picture fiasco day #2. Let's see if the 3rd time is a charm.
