The not so fun doctor trips

I decided to take Selah's one year pictures by myself, since professional ones are insanely expensive. So we went outside with a few props and these are the masterpieces we created.

Selah had her 12 month check-up on Tuesday. She is currently 20 lbs. 1 oz. and is 30 1/4 inches long. So, above average for height (85 %) and below average for weight (30 %). When she was first born I placed a lot of importance on those percentages, thinking that if she was 50 % or above then she is doing great. But after finding out she's in the 30 % for weight and that the doctor is not concerned at all I guess they aren't as important as I thought. Dr. Basco said that we have to consider both Dan's and my stature, both tall and thin, and those physical traits have obviously been passed on to Selah. And she's been gaining weight and height at a consistent rate. Being a new mom I often question whether I am doing the right thing, but it is always nice to hear we're doing a good job with our daughter. Dr. Basco said she is a sweet baby.
Our girl also had to get three shots and her blood drawn. I went alone this time and the blood drawing part was especially difficult. I held her in my lap while holding her left arm to her tummy and her head against my chest. One of the lab techs held the right hand straight out and another drew her blood from the vein in her right arm. She cried and huge crocodile tears just fell onto my lap. They gave her a cookie (a big moment for Selah, she can have treats now that she's a toddler), which she proceeded to throw on the floor. She is definitely asserting herself a lot more, letting us know her likes and dislikes.
We were also able to turn her car seat around so she's facing forward, now that she is a year old and 20 pounds (I guess you have to pass both those tests). So it's a lot of fun for us! I feel like she is more apart of the car rides, not just stuck in the back.
I got some unexpected news yesterday when I went to the dentist. I have been having pain in my teeth on one side, so I went in and it turns out I need my wisdom teeth pulled ASAP. They are impacted, which means they are pushing against my other teeth because they can't go straight up and out. September 11 is consult and soon there after is D-day. So not looking forward to that.
In other news, we're moving this weekend. YIPPY!!!!! We're so excited, but not for the actual moving process. It is supposed to be in the high 90's. YIKES!! Well yikes for the boys. Last time we moved I was pregnant so I had a reason not to lift heavy stuff. This time, well Selah and I are pretty much attached at the hip so I guess I won't be doing much heavy lifting for this move either. Oh darn! Well our next update will probably be after the move. So toodaloo for now!
