Today was Layla's one year well visit with her doctor. She has made great strides since arriving in the very low percentiles a year ago. Today Layla was 20lbs 11oz (50th percentile), 29 inches long (50th percentile!!!) and her head was 18 and 1/4 inches around (95th...yes, 95th percentile). So the appointment went fine (although Layla didn't want the doctor to touch her at all which made for an interesting appointment!!) until we came to the topic of....
THE SWING!!!!
The doctor told me it was time to put the swing away because Layla is now strong enough to jump right out of it if she chose to. So Layla's doctor told me to put the swing away out of sight so Layla couldn't see it and neither could I (I think possibly this is more so I don't "swing relapse"). So upon doctor's orders, the swing is gone and I am getting ready for a LONG 3-4 days of transitioning Ms. Layla into the crib.
So long Mr. Swing....I don't know if we will use you again if/when we have another baby :-)
If we do use you again, we definitely need to invest in rechargeable D batteries next time!!!
.
On a non-swing note, enjoy a video of Layla and her daddy playing tonight!!

What a riot...on a side note the rechargable D batteries came in very handy in the Abbott Household! Love the video can't wait to get together soon.

The swing - it can be your friend AND it can be the enemy.....so long for now.
Layla's video is darling and I remember the days when the boys were THAT excited to see "Daddy" when he came home from work.....
Love, Super AA
Oh my goodness...this video had me laughing outloud! I love that she was so excited every time and fell over from excitement. She was also a tropper with Howie's tail in her face!
I was cracking up at that video! I also love that swimsuit. She is the cutest!
