Bump on the head

Usually when I receive a text from one of my children during school it is just to say hi, or can you bring me such and such. Yesterday, I received a text from Paige saying that she had been hit in the head with a disk while in P.E.. I asked if she was okay or if she needed me to come and get her.  She replied that she had put ice on it and was okay.  I then received this photo....

She said that it looked good compared to what it looked like earlier.

I was proud of her because she toughed it out and stayed at school.  However, she was worried that her seminary teacher might tease her about it.  He didn't.

Dr. visit

Hope went to her 1 year check up.  She is now 32 inches (99th percentile),and weighs 23.9 pounds (84th percentile).  Her weight has slowed down which is good for me.  The crawling and walking has really helped.  She finally cut her second top tooth.  The other one has been in for months and I was getting a little concerned.  She is advanced in her speech. She is already putting 2 and 3 words together.  Baby's grow to fast, if you ask me.

The nurse gave Hope a succor before they gave her the shots.  Hope only cried for about 10 seconds, noticed that she still had the succor and stopped.  She finished the succor on the ride home and fell asleep.

Getting organized

I got this great idea from a friend.  I no longer hear...."Mom, where's the, or we don't have any..."
It is all right there in front of you in it's own little pocket.

And she's off

Hope has been walking on her own for about the last week.  She stood up next to me one day and just took off.  I knew that she could do it, it was just being brave enough.  She had been walking from one person to another for quite awhile now.  She was up to 14 steps!!!
She still prefers crawling because it is much faster.
