So we had Maggie's one year check up just the other day so I thought I would post about it and her. As you know, it has been quite a year with Miss Mags. The low blood sugar, 3 days in the NICU, then to get out and find out she may be sick and perhaps albino. After all that she decided that it was too calm so a nasty case of acid reflux ensued and to top it off she got a little virus in Hawaii. *Sigh* I can say though, she has been quite good since about 9 months when it was time to do the sleep training. She has been sleeping better and in general, better spirits. Anyway, Tuesday we had her one year and she is 19lbs 3 oz which is the 20% for weight and of course she is in the 98% for height! I mean seriously! She eats more than Matthew does!!!! She is perfectly healthy and right on track!!! She is so close to walking. I mean just barely holding onto furniture. She is a total daredevil and tries to go down the stairs face first. Just today, we went to the eye doctor for her one year check up. When she was 3 weeks old he dilated her eyes and told us that she basically had no macula so don't expect her to see and if she does see, it won't be well. Of course she has a lot of Fischer in her and she must have heard that at a mere 3 weeks because today he reported that she sees within the NORMAL range for a child her age. I almost fell out of my chair. NORMAL range!!!! She basically sees as well as I do without my contacts which isn't terrible. He said she probably won't even need glasses early. In fact, the nurse asked us if she was 2 because she kept grabbing for the little light up toy saying "I yant dat...(I want that)" She is SO STUBBORN but I love it and I am so happy that she has that in her. Like Chris' mom always says "That quality might be frustrating now, but in the future it will be worth it!" So true!!! I have to say as I keep reflecting back on 2009, I wouldn't change anything we went through and I am so thankful that we are so lucky. We have two beautiful, smart, stubborn children and everyday is a blessing:)
