Big Girls Don't Cry

well, claire had her 1 yr doctor's appointment on friday. she weighed in at 19lb 13oz and measured 29 1/4 inches. all that means is that we have to wait another week or so to turn her car seat around. while that is true about the car seat, it also means that she is in the 25-50% percentile for weight and 50% percentile for height. we aren't sure that the height measurement was right as claire was pretty cranky at the doc's office and would stay still for the nurse to measure her.
we (okay, i - because mark is away at paul's stag party in vegas) finally got her back on her nap schedule today. claire was having such a great week with visitors (larry, charlene, kimmy, and jocelyn) that she didn't want to miss anything. hopefully the schedule will stick.
claire is still exhibiting some separation anxiety/stranger shyness when i am around. if i walk past her and don't pick her up, she cries. if someone else picks her up and i am there, she cries. while i am flattered, and of course, glad she is capable of forming bonds, i am hoping that this is a relatively short-lived phase.
otherwise, we are well and looking forward to mark's return. we hope he and uncle paul (and the rest of the boys) are having fun in vegas.
until the next posting, double down.
