470

That’s how many days old the Pumpkin Head is.

And since Mallory is 470 days old, we had her 15-mo check-up today. Unfortunately this meant three shots. But before the shots we got a good report – 31.1″ (67%) and 26.96 lbs (93%). She is right on track developmentally and the doctor gave us some things to watch for that she should be doing in the next couple months.

But the biggest news is that she has another raging ear infection. I think it’s great that we wouldn’t know it if the doctor didn’t tell us. She is so easy going as it is, it’s hard to imagine what she’d be like if she was ear infection-free. So we follow-up with the ENT people in April, unless my sister can pull some strings and get us in earlier. They will do a hearing test and then have the actual appointment with the doctor. Stay tuned.

Mallory has started doing this goofy smile thing – she will scrunch up her nose and just grin & grin (I think she’s just trying *really* hard to show off those pearly whites!). Here are some pictures:

   
Gotta love the shirt – “It’s all about ME ME ME!”
And in that third picture – she’s about to get a big wet one planted on her from Goobah/Coopie (her new names for Cooper now).
