Stats,Facts and Other Useless Info...

Jordyn had her 12 mo. appointment this morning. It was not a fun appointment for her. She got 4 shots and had to have blood taken. The lab nurse decided that it would be easier for her (the nurse) to try to get blood from Jordyn's arm rather than just do a finger prick. So they (one nurse was holding Jordyn's arm while the other operated the needle) stuck the needle in her arm and then proceeded to fish around for a vein. In the end, they ended up doing a finger prick anyway. Needless to say, Jordyn and I were not happy about that whole ordeal. Other than that, the appointment went well. The Dr. wants me to wean Jordyn off her bottle (which she only uses for milk as it is), and he said that it's probably time for us to start familiarizing her with a potty chair (get her a chair and have her sit on it whenever anyone else in the house uses the bathroom). So, I guess we're on our way to potty training (YEAH!!!). Here's the numbers from this mornings appointment...

Weight: 23 lbs 7 oz

Height: 30.25 in

Head Circumference: 18.25 in
