Keeping up with the Joneses: October 2011

1 Year Stats

Mia's 1 year stats:

Weight: 17lbs 7oz (4th %)

Height: 29 1/2''

Head Circumference: 18.5'' (93 %)

Diapers: Size 3

Clothes: 12 months

Food: Breastmilk and everything else

Mia's pediatrician is concerned with her lack of weight gain. (At one point in her short little life, she was in the 50th % for weight!) We have 30 days to try and beef this girl up since we meet with the doctor again in a month to revaluate. The big thing is really pushing Whole Milk (since I'm only breastfeeding in the morning and before bed) and feeding her calorie boosting foods.

We think she is perfect and can't imagine her any other way. Mia coming into our lives has made for an amazing year in which Joe and I have had the opportunity to grow as a couple, as parents and as human beings.

Mia's Birthday Bash

Mia's first birthday was super fun! My Grandparents were gracious enough to let us cram lots and lots of people into their house and totally fill it with the all things Dr. Seuss. Mia's favorite part of the party was opening her gifts. She took her time and enjoyed each and every present...it was the sweetest thing! Thank you to all that were a part of Mia's special day. Sorry if I didn't get to spend a lot of time talking to you, I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of people.

This is what the cupcakes looked like when I first put the cotton candy on top. By the time everyone ate them the cotton candy disintegrated into blue speckles.
