Milestones

I took Alex to her one year pediatrician appointment yesterday. She's still skinny, short, and has a big head! Her current weight is 19 pounds, 7 ounces, which puts her in the 25 percentile for weight and she is 28 inches tall, which puts her in the 10 to 25 percentile for height. Her head, however, is in the 90 to 95 percentile. I think that means she's going to be a genius. :-) She is a very healthy little girl and everything is looking good!

The other good news is that Alex is walking now! She took a couple of half-steps last week and then on Sunday she took her first real steps. She walked a few feet on Sunday night and now she can walk halfway across a room! Alex is very excited about her new accomplishment. We're having a hard time getting it on camera, though, because she stops walking when she sees the camera and crawls over to the camera to play with it instead. We will eventually get footage!

This has nothing to do with walking, but I thought it was cute. Here's Alex on her Kawasaki atv that she got from her Grandma and Grandpa for her birthday.
