Running around town with a toddler is a bit different than a baby. We don't have as much stuff to bring with us, but keeping up with Maggie is a bit more challenging. Maggie is not much on confinement, whether it be a stroller, car seat, or shopping cart. She has a good 15 minutes in her, and then, she lets loose. So, we are finding new ways to try to occupy her. As long as the cart or stroller is moving, then she's okay. But, when it stops, we must find things to distract her. We're hoping this is a phase and she'll learn to sit still soon enough.
Mags had her 12 month well child check (4 weeks late due to the doctor's schedule), and here are her digits: 21 lbs. 6 ounces; 29 3/4 inches tall; 46 cm head circumference. This puts Maggie in about the 75th percentile. Dr. Laughlin said Maggie is slender. He said after 12 months, their growth slows and they start to get taller and more slender. He said this is the case with Maggie already. She's still above average on height and weight, but slender too. He also said that she is currently working on about 5 teeth. Oh my. He says they should appear soon. This should make the confinement issue even more pleasant to deal with.
She is a very adept crawler now. She is off her bottle and soley uses her sippy cup. She is trying all sorts of new foods, but isn't a fan of new textures. She is trying to walk. Shes is an unbelievable stair climber but just doesn't quite have the confidence to walk yet. Last night, she finally decided to just stand from the sitting position on her own. She did it three times. This was likely the influence of her little friend Conor, who is a great walker and stander.
