Allie had her 1 year doctor's appointment today. She weights 19 lbs 9 oz (23 %) and is 29.7 inches (66%). She also received 5 more shots!!! She is doing great (besides her small cold) and the doctor has now given us permission to feed her anything. I asked about turning her car seat around and he said that she isn't quite 20 lbs but she definitely has the muscle strength to be forward facing. He said to keep her rear facing for the next month or two just because it the safest, but if she starts getting fussy or wanting to look around we could put her foward facing.

Allie had a GREAT birthday. Her terrible stuffy nose didn't keep her from stuffing her face with cake! We just want to thank everyone for your gifts, love, and thoughtfulness. We are really blessed to have such a great family!

Our family went to a cabin with some friends of ours and Allie followed their little boy around. He wasn't too interested in playing with her but she still followed him everywhere.
