I am loving my new schedule, I started it this week and I get so much more time at home with my baby girl. We have had so much fun this week despite the fact that we had to go to the doctor! :-) Hannah had an appointment with her pediatrician on Wednesday and all went well except that she had to have three shots! She was not liking that at all. She now weighs 20 lbs 8 oz and is 30 inches long. She has gained 2 lbs and 1 1/2 inches since we have been home! Thursday we had to go have blood drawn for her one year labs and let me tell you, this was traumatic for both of us! It was the first time we have had blood drawn that was not just a finger stick and it was not fun. I had to hold her so that they could stick her and I cried as much as she did! It was horrible! Other than that we have had a pretty good week. Hannah is pulling up now on everything and walking along the couch. The doctor said that as far as her language skills , she is on the level of a 16-17 month old! I think this is pretty impressive considering she only heard Russian the first 9 months of her life. She also said that she is completely caught up on all of her other developmental milestones. We are pretty excited about this too. She is doing so well!  That's it for now, I will try to update again soon.
