Maelin's 12 Month Shots and Other Things

MaeMae got her 12 month shots on Thursday. I took my last day off (when I had pnenomia at the beginning of the year, I used up all my sick days) on Thursday and I took her to a new doctor and she got her shots. We decided we hated Kaiser for babies...we never saw the same doctor twice, their office hours were obnoxious and they were so busy, they were always late seeing us. So when Kevin had his open enrollment at work, we switched her to his insurance. It's actually cheaper than Kaiser so we are now able to go see Dr. Jen at Pediatrics at Cherry Creek in Stapleton (which is very close to my work). She was great. The office was brand new and clean and wasn't crowded and she spent over 30 minutes with us just chatting about different things.

Maelin got her shots and she's still feeling under the weather. Poor baby. Turns out our little girl is going to be a big-headed (literally!), skinny tall girl! She weighs 20 lbs now and is 30 inches long. She's in the 25% for weight (meaning 75% of kids are heavier than she is), 75% for height and 90% for how big her head is!! Funny little thing.

Since we've been getting kicked out of our house so much lately, we've been heading over to the Cherry Creek Mall to play on the food. It's sooooo much fun for baby Maelin. She loves crawling around and she also loves the other kids. It's so great for her to be social and play with other kids as much as she can. Here's a picture of her enjoying the food place:



She's also discovered how much she loves walking! Kat and Jeff bought her this lion thing for xmas and she LOVES it. We only have 3 1/2 weeks left of school and although I'm crazy busy (more about that later) trying to get ready for the end of the year, I am so excited that it's almost time to spend every day w/ baby again! We're going to go to the zoo, the pool, the park and just hang out at our (hopefully!!) new house and play in the NEW backyard!! Here's a fun picture of baby Maelin enjoying her bath. (sorry that it's crooked...Maelin is crawling around getting into everything and I don't have time to turn it!)
