Smith Angels - AVA

I had my 1-year checkup this week. I weigh 19.5 pounds, and am in the 20th percentile for weight (fabulous for being so preemie!) and in the 90th percentile for my head circumference. Dr. Hertz is very proud of me. She told me to drink whole cow's milk now and to try to use sippy cups (which I have been doing for a long time now, but I do not really like them much).

My mommy told you about how much I enjoy racing her to the dog water bowl - if I make it first I get in a very satisfactory "splash", and if she makes it first she gets to keep me clean and germ-free; we enjoy this so much, we do it many, many times a day. Well, yesterday I made it to the dog food bowl and ate one of Jessie's oven-baked chicken & rice dog food pieces! I just would *not* give it to my mom, though she did her best to scoop it from my mouth. I LOVED it, my mommy is quite mortified! Oh, there will be some kitchen redesign very soon, mommy says. Ha ha.
