Lolas well baby checkup

Lola all bundled up!

Feeding herself applesauce-of course she has to have something in both hands!!

This is the rice cake she was carrying around on her back on the previous update

I just wanted to write a quick update about Lola's checkup. She had 3 shots, which she actually did very well with. She of course cried when they gave it to her but was fine the second I picked her up. She was in the 80th percentile for her weight; which was 24.8 pounds, 100th percentile for her head!!haha And she was in the I believe 90th percentile for her height.
She hasn't lost weight, but she hasn't gained any either. He said that she is probably just beginning to get lean as she gets taller(which we already knew) And that she is definitely getting all the nutrients she needs. We talked about fluoride, and we decided to give her a fluoride drop everyday because there seems to be some discrepancy whether or not they put it in the water on base.I also asked him why he thought she wouldn't eat meat, and he said he didn't know but to keep giving it to her and trying it in different ways-trying it in different sauces, ground up etc. So long story short everything is fine and Lola is doing well!

Finally able to upload pictures!!!

Serious face

Walking around with the rice cake on her back that Noriko and her Mom made for her-the Japanese do this on their first Birthday to see if the baby will be strong. Needless to say Lola passed!

Birthday cake Megumi & Noriko brough for Lola and I-says Lola and Ashley Happy Birthday!

Lola loves couscous and green beans-little messy though!

Eating the ice cream cone Uncle Wade made me!
Noriko and Megumi brought Lola and I presents for our Birhtdays when we got back to Japan and a wonderful cake!! They gave Lola a Japanese toy cell phone and a little dog that barks and jumps up and down-she loves loves loves both!!!
As you can tell she growing like crazy, and still has her funny crazy personality!
