First year appointment


Melina had her one-year well-baby appointment yesterday. She continues to be a skinny little stringbean with a big head. Her official stats are: 90th percentile for head size; 75th for height; and 20th for weight. The doctor said that based on her current height, it's likely she'll be 5'6" as an adult. It's strange to have this glimpse of the future Melina. Will her hair be blond, red, or brunette? Will her eyes ever decide between green, gray, brown or blue? Will she be a Democrat or a Green Party member? The doctor couldn't tell me.

Today we leave for a short trip to Las Vegas and Mesquite, Nevada. Given Melina's nap schedule, I expect to be spending a lot of time reading in a hotel room, interspersed with trips to the swimming pool. It will be her first plane flight, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Meanwhile, here's a picture of her with her favorite chew toy, a bottle of Infant Tylenol.
