I picked Teagan up today and found her wearing cute little pig tails - her teacher at daycare played beauty parlor and did her hair. For weeks, every time I washed her hair I thought to myself that it was getting long enough for a pony or piggies, but I hadn't tried yet. I think it makes her look older! Or maybe it's just my acceptance of the fact that she's one that makes her seem older.
Speaking of turning one, I will use this opportunity to provide an update on Teagan. She had her 12 month pediatrician appointment on Monday. She got a clean bill of health. She motored all over the exam room and was very friendly and giggly with her doctor. She weighs 19 lbs 10 oz (25th%) and is 29.25 inches tall (50th%). She didn't like getting the two shots, but she recovered quickly. We had to again subject her to torture in the form of a blood draw at the lab. Although it was just a finger prick, it seemed to take them forever to draw the blood out drop by drop as little T screamed her head off. The seemingly harmless finger prick turned out to be quite the ordeal! She recovered from that too, and after a nap was her happy self to pose for some pigtail photos!
The aftermath of pigtails - Ace Ventura hairstyle! Hopefully it gets matted down overnight or else Matt will be playing beauty parlor tomorrow morning trying to get it back to normal!!!
