Check up time
March 1, 1999
Julia and I just arrived home from a doctor visit. She is growing rapidly and falling into the 80% percentile for height and 85% percentile for weight. Per the recommendation of our doctor, we are going to transition Julia into eating a wider variety of fruits and vegetables.
The doctor noticed an obvious attachment to me but she had some positive reactions to most of the people and situations we experienced at the doctors office. It broke my heart when Julia had to get a vaccination but I know it is for her well being and the well being of other children she comes into contact with. Julia calmed down fairly quickly after the shot. I think it was harder on me then it was on Julia.
While Julia is busy crawling around, the doctor noted she should be making more attempts to pull herself up and support her own weight. To help Julia develop some additional motor skills, her father and I will help her practice walking by holding her hands to support her weight. Since Julia likes when I read to her, I will be sure she is the one who turns the pages in our books so she can get a feel for that. The doctor was pleased to hear some of her favorite toys are building blocks. He said that if we let Julia build block towers it will help her motor skills develop even further.
Julia is also babbling up a storm these days. I can hear her babbling from across the house when I'm cooking lunch. Just the other day I heard what I clearly thought was her saying "momma." I haven't been able to get her to repeat it especially in front of my husband who continually tries to get Julia to say "daddy" as if it is some kind of friendly competition between the two of us.
