One Year Checkup

We had Sylvie's one year checkup last week- the same week as her first fever and sick day. She is 90% for her height still, 70% for her weight and 60% for her head size. Doctor says she has a clean bill of health! On a scary note, we were one of the last appointments of the day and about two hours for the doc ( i see a theme here....). When the doc came in the room he apologized and said it has been a crazy day- there were TWO cases of swine flu in the office that day! The had to clear out the sick waiting room and wipe everything down. I am glad we were in the well room, but super scary. And i hope the poor kids are doing okay. Doc said Sylvie will have to have the swine flu vaccine when it comes out in the fall. That scares me as well because it is a new vaccine- no telling what it will do to our kids when they are 30.
Sylvie also has a nevus, a birthmark that looks like a mole ( a huge mole) on her back. She has to go to a dermatologist to get it looked at. Doc says that there it is nothing to worry about until she is about 4- but I have noticed dark smaller moles appearing in it. So we have an appointment for a pediatric dermatologist! I am not worried at all, but I will feel much better after a professional has seen it.

We have moved up, finally, to the baby B room at daycare! And yes,
this is where she got sick. I suppose she had to get all the new germs and virus from this room over with. I had to keep her home two days ( thanks mom for watching her one of them!). She is much better and back to her old self.
Dada and baby had a nap after school when she was sick....
Sylvie has also learned how to drink out of a cup and is well on her way to being a big girl!!
