Great One Year Check Up!

Elena had a wonderful one year check up this evening with Dr. Hagan.  She is right on target for her growing curve, which is such good news.  Elena is 19.3 lbs.  She is our little flea, but like we've said from the beginning...she is long and lean!  Elena took 3 shots in her leg like a champ and only cried for a minute or so...I think she was just mad that Nurse Chelsea and I made her lay down for a bit to get the shots!  All in all, Juan and I couldn't be happier with the year we've had as far as Elena's health goes.  We have not had any major issues and we are hoping to keep it that way through the winter.  We don't have to go back to the doctor until March...here's to hoping we are healthy until then...even though our baby has a cold right now.  Praying that goes away soon, too.  Elena has had her flu shot, so hopefully that helps her stay healthy this coming winter.  We are going to finish Elena's last container of formula this week and then it's onto whole milk for our little lady.  We got the official OK from the doctor on all foods now.  Elena is ready for it all!  Now, if we could just get her eating it all, we'd be in better shape.  I think she is just like me...texture is SUPER important.  Elena likes blended peas, but won't touch them in regular form.  Same goes for bananas...too funny.  Hopefully we can continue introducing some other foods to her that she might like in the coming weeks.  Well, I'm hoping to get to bed early tonight...my wake up call was at 4am this morning, so this momma is TIRED.  Looking forward to a good night's rest for the Diaz household!!
