Walking!!!!!
My toothless little girl started walking on Oct. 25th at 13 months! Daddy came home for lunch and she walked for him for the first time. So cute! Although she has figured out how to take steps she still prefers crawling. After all she is a little speedster on her knees!
One year stats:
Weighed in at 21 lbs
30 1/4 inch long
I cant remember the head cir, but it did grow.
Her Pediatrician didn't give me the percentiles exactly but showed me on the chart where she was at
Very tall, weight is starting to catch up with her, and her head size is a little bigger. haha
Breathing/Lung update:
Dr. Broome ordered another chest x-ray. He is still very worried about how Claire breathes. He stated that he sees babies all day long and none of them breath the way she does. She almost looks like she is hyperventilating. Very rapid breaths. Her stomach and ribs contract with each breath. At this last appointment he could hear flem in her lungs. (Keep in mind Claire is happy, growing, and very active. In no way does anything seem to slow her down. So its really weird for us to think anything is wrong.) Any ways she also had her blood work done this week with her 12m shots. Poor girl.
The blood work came back normal and her chest Xray came back and she is not fully diagnosed yet but, the nurse seems to think she has R.A.D. Reactive Airway Disease. Or some kind of chronic lung disease.
Needless to say I am not looking forward to flu and cold season with her. I am not ready for another dose of Bronchiolitis.
Claire- You are such a delight! Everyone you meet fall in love with you instantly. You have such a sweet nature and continue to impress us everyday. You love to dance, sing twinkle twinkle little star, clap your hands, wave, give a pretty smile, click your tongue, feed yourself, play with Mable and take baths. You smile easily and are genuinely a happy girl. You take 2 naps a day and love to sleep with your bear and binky. I could watch you all day long, you are so fascinating. Watching you learn and grow gives me the warm fuzzies. =) I love you, we love you, forever and always my sweet chinchilla.
Niki--I was just going to tell you that it sounds like what Taylor had when he was little--and then you named it: RAD. It's basically "almost asthma" and you can deal with it. When she starts really having trouble breathing, ask them for a nebulizer. That made my life much easier when I could give Taylor treatments at home and not have to run him to the doctor--for the same thing. You'll learn what to watch for and it will all be good! And odds are, kids grow out of it. At least the worst of it. Good luck!
