I was excited to wake up and see both Mom and Dad home! Mom took off for work, as usual, but was working from home today so I knew I would get to see him a bunch. Dad got me dressed and then we went downstairs for breakfast. I don’t mind amaranth and peaches, but man I’ll be happy when it’s all oatmeal all the time.
I took my morning nap at the usual time and when I got up, Nana & Grandpa Yagan were here to get me out of my crib. I ate my lunch fairly well (even the salmon & polenta, which I’ve had mixed feelings about). We had a fun time playing, and Aunt Claire even got in on the fun when she got back from her trip to visit Maddi.
At 2:30 or so, we had to run to my doctor’s office to get my 12-month vaccinations! As you might remember, I had a cold on my birthday so I didn’t get any of the shots at my regular checkup. Dad took a break from work to drive — and Nana and Grandpa came along for the ride. My weight was good — 23 pounds or so. As it turns out, I only got one immunization (MMR), but I also had to get two blood test that required my finger to bleed for an entire minute: a blood lead test and hemoglobin test for iron deficiency. Both came back perfect!
Even though Mom wasn’t around, things went pretty smoothly…except that Dad didn’t bring a pacifier, O’s, or anything to soothe me after my shots. Luckily I’m a tough girl!
Nana and Grandpa dropped me and Dad off at home and then they left. I hung out with Aunt Claire until Mom got home. I heard a rumor that we had a couple guests staying at the house this weekend, but I didn’t see them before I went to sleep.
