The VanVleet Family: Can I Be 9 Months Again, PLEASE?

Being 1 year old isn't at fun as I thought!!!! I heard Mommy tell Daddy and Grandma that I wasn't going to be very happy at the doctor's office today. Mommy dressed me all cute, packed us up, and hauled us off to the doctor's office. Mom chatted and laughed with the nurse and doctor, and I thought to myself, "this isn't too bad after all!" I was running around the room in my diaper, but hey, I kinda like running around naked. What was going to make so unhappy???

That's when the craziness happened. Doctor Roscoe made me sit on Mommy's lap, and he put this cold metal thing on my body. Brrrr.....I may like running around naked, but I didn't say you could still ice cold things on me! Then he checked me neck...I tried to pry his hands off of me. Then he stuck something in my ear....I tried to turn my head away. Then he stuck a stick in my mouth. I think he was trying to gag me!!!

That is not even the worst of it! I thought I was all done with this torture, and then in walked the nurse with her "toolbox". Before she even started, I gave her the sign for "all done" over and over and over, but she must not know sign language. She pinned me down and jabbed me with 3 needles. I held me breath for a few...turned a little blue....and then thought FINALLY, I'm done. That is when it happened. She grabbed my hand, and poked me with ANOTHER needle. Then that crazy lady squeezed and squeezed my finger and MADE ME BLEED! To make matter worse, she wrapped my entire hand up...I look like a mummy, I tell ya! I held my breath some more, turned a little blue again, and thought FINALLY, FINALLY I am done.

Guess again.....that nurse forgot a shot. We were getting our coats on and everything. So she pinned me, pulled down my britches, and stuck me again! Talk about TRAMATIC!!! I sure wasn't going to fall for the "all done" trick again, so I cried and cried....all the way home....until I finally fell asleep. That trip sure did make me UNHAPPY, and TIRED! Check me out now!

When I am not getting tortured, or too worn out to play, you can find me here. It's so much fun searching for new places I can fit into :) Did you notice I had to pull EVERYTHING out to make room? Mommy sure loves it when I explore!

When I am not exploring, you can find me lounging around with my favorite person in the whole world! I don't care what my big sister is doing, I'm right there with her.....even when she goes to the bathroom!

Overall, my doctor's appointment was HORRIBLE, but I guess there were a few good things. I am continuing to grow!

Here are my stats:
Weight: 19 lbs, 9 oz. (naked) 25%
Height: 28 1/2 inches long 25%
Head: 25%

I am now drinking whole milk for all my feeding except for 1 (early morning). But Mommy says that is going to change in the next week whether I like it or not....whatever that means. I enjoy feeding myself with a spoon, and I love trying new things. I had my first peanut butter sandwich today...YUM :)

Well, couldn't leave Macy out of this post, so here she is. Mommy took this picture this morning before we took Macy to school. Macy wanted her picture taken in the snow! I don't know about this stuff called snow, but my family sure seems excited!
