Doctor - Zoo - Poop - Fun!


On Tuesday we had Heidi's one year appointment. She did go through a growth spurt - YEAH!!! - she now weighs in at 19 lbs 3 ozs (18th percentile) and is 28 1/4 long (22nd percentile) - her head is 39% - but aren't most kid's heads bigger than their body? It just means she has a big brain! Heidi did excellent at the doctor's - giving him high five - running around - she was a good sport - even through the shots. She cried but was comforted by her doll and we were good to go! The goals for the next three months - 1. pure milk - no formula 2. no more bottles and 3. no more pacifier - I'm worried about #3 the most - its going to be tricky!

After a quick nap, we headed to the zoo which Heidi L-O-V-E-D! She was pointing at everything and enjoying it! I forget how cool our zoo is - there is a reason why its number 1 or 2 in the nation. We went ahead and bought a season pass - I didn't realize it opened at 8:30am - so we can go early and be home by noon!

As you scroll down through the pictures you will notice an outfit change. We crossed the fish bridge and was headed into the garden of senses and in that 10 feet in the open - a bird pooped on Heidi - before we could get to it - Heidi took the poop off her chest AND ATE IT! Yes - she ate it.

Well about 20 seconds later - she started to projectile vomit EVERYWHERE! Now on top of all that, I have laryngitis - I seriously have no voice and have to whisper - so imagine me realizing she was pooped on but can't yell louder than a whisper - trying to coordinate Chris and I on the clean up - it was quite a site. I took her - daddio took the stroller and we began clean up - I think I went through a whole package of wipes - wiping head to toe - in her mouth - everywhere! Thank god we brought an extra outfit!

Daddy made a call to the doctor and called 955-5555 poison control - which confirmed she should be just fine because she vomited. (and yes I took pictures of Chris on the phone - while Heidi was busy laughing away) Poison control said if she developed flu like symptoms later - then she may be sick - but reassured us - she should probably be just fine. I would like to report - Heidi is a-ok. Our doctor even personally called us later to check in and joked - what is the possibility of that? We can now giggle about it - next time we'll be looking for birds in the sky at the zoo...
