Lauren went to her 1 year pediatrician appointment yesterday- here are her stats.
height 30.12 inches (82%)
weight 23 lb 4 oz (54%)
In summary, we are lucky to have a healthy, happy young lady who is right on track with her development. She stood up on her own and took a few steps in the doctors office, just to confirm how great she is doing. The allergy issues are not going anywhere any time soon, but Dr Matt assured us that she can achieve good nutrition without eggs or milk. She also got A LOT of shots- 5 in all, plus a heel stick for lead. Poor baby, she was tough though. Everyone keeps suggesting that we give her tylenol because of the shots- I am not really a believer in medicine without a reason, and she is doing fine without it. If she gets a bad fever or I think she is uncomfortable, then maybe. Otherwise I think babies are better off without drugs (unconventional wisdom from a pharmacist, I know...)
Poor baby has had a bad cold for over 2 weeks, though. Cough, cough, cough all night long. She is past the fever and goopy eyes, but still with the coughing and crabbiness. Her pediatrician just reassured us that she will be fine, and that is what kids do- but it is so tough to watch, you just want to help her. Last night was a bit better and we are hopeful that she will be as good as new in a few days.

Feel Better Cutie!
Nicole, I think it does get better. Ella had a cold most of last season and this year has been much better. Hang in there! It doesn't get any easier to watch....
