Flashback Friday

Nasal cannula, OG Tube, Isolation, PICC Line and one mighty sweet little girl.

Spaghetti is delicious.

This girl loves carbs! Just like her mama!

Flashback Friday - First bottle

This was the first time I gave Channing a bottle. I was scared out of my mind. I don't remember how well she or I did. Obviously, we both survived!

Stuff and Things

What we've been up to
Channing is walking. . .

this is where I would have posted a really cute video of Channing walking BUT because I can't seem to get it to work. You can see this super cute but really old video of Chan crawling instead. I'll keep working on the other video or I'll go slowly insane. Either or.



Brushing her own teeth. . .

She's driving. . .

Thanks, Aunt Janelle

But she's still drinking a bottle. . .

You're probably too old for a bottle if you can recline like that while watching Baby Signing Time. Probably?

Channing loves peas. . .

This guy is still here. . .

We just celebrated his 2nd birthday!

ps. Channing did okay at the dentist. I mean don't get me wrong she hated every minute of it but she didn't get all gaggy and pukey which is a victory in my book!

Flashback Friday - Vanity

The first time I saw Channing's face unobstructed, I thought to myself 'bless her heart she just isn't cute, poor little thing'. It wasn't her fault - she wasn't meant to be seen yet.

Then a few weeks passed and I saw this little girl looking up at me and I knew she was going to be darling.

I know I've been a horrible blogger. I'll have a big post next week with lots of pictures of Channing.

Home!

One year ago today, we brought our little chicken home.

Channing's Stats - 15 months

Channing had her 15 month well check on Monday. Here's how she's measuring up:

Weight - 20lbs 3oz
Height - 29.5 inches
Head - 46.2 cm

Actual Age (15 months)-
11th% for weight
18th% for height
57th% for head

Adjusted Age (12 months) -
39th% for weight
68th% for height
82nd% for head

Basically, we've got a candy apple on our hands. Long, skinny with a big head! Her doctor isn't concerned at all about her size or growth.

Channing is really close to talking her first steps. Last week, we had her first visit with a Physical Therapist to assess her walking. I guess Channing didn't like this development and since that visit has totally blown us away with her cruising and standing unassisted skills. In that same vein, the gate went up to prevent her from climbing the stairs.

Things she loves: Eating at the table with her friends at daycare (Her teacher told us that she throws a fit if she's not allowed at the 'big kid' table for lunch), being tickled, swinging on the back porch, Food! Food! Food!, Baby Babble and pretty much anything to do with DaDa.

Things she doesn't like: Breathing treatments with mom (oddly she sits perfectly still for breathing txs with Nana. . .hmmm), anyone helping her walk (this one's got an independent streak for real), stop and go traffic (but who does, really?), when her paci falls out of her crib.

Also, I'm about to schedule Channing's first visit to the dentist!!! Surely, this won't go well, right??
