As long as I’m here, I might as well get all chatty.

Val had her 12 month well-baby visit on Monday, which was entertaining as always.  Poor kid got 3 shots and a rather prolonged finger-sticking battle, since it’s lead-test time for the good ol’ state of Insanity Massachusetts, which seems to be worried that the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on lead abatement accomplished nothing at all.  Also included, a random glucose and something or another else I don’t remember.  That’s a lot of holding a baby still while they milk her finger, folks.  Yikes.

Anyway, the Future-Supermodels-of-America trend is alive and well.  She’s at the 75th percentile for height and the 5th for weight.  Apparently all the butter we feed her goes straight into making her taller.  This is not a bad thing from my point of view, but it does trigger the automatic try-to-feed-her-more talk.  Heh.  She eats more than Sadie, most of the time.  I envy her metabolism.  Then again, I was a painfully skinny kid before puberty came along and ruined it all.  Sigh.

In any case, she’s all good to go for a while now.  Yay!

1. Ahhhhhhhh puberty screwing up our weight, yah gotta love that gawky age.....but mostly KIDS did me in.  I mean it’s weird wearing smaller clothes than before i had kids but man let me tell you, things just arent in the same places. And trying to cram stuff in, it’s a skill, not fashion a skill.
