1 Year Stats

Ashley had her 1 year check-up last week. Here's her digits:

27.2 in         10% height (guess she was doomed from the start)
19.14 lbs      25% weight
18in             71% head circumference

Dr. Moshier switched her over to milk and we're trying to get her off the bottle. That's not going very well, but I'm not really forcing it.

Ashley is 1 !!!

It's official! Our sweet, sassy, fun-loving, beautiful little girl is 1! I've had so many emotions running through my head about the weeks and day of Ashley's birth. In fact, here's a few of them  http://thelaclettefamily.blogspot.com/2011/08/this-is-it.html. I think back about the first year that we've had and again I have so many emotions, but the best way to describe them all is BLESSED. Ashley Carmen has brought so much happiness into our lives and I cherish each and every day with her! 

I think she looks EXACTLY like Alex here

Aren't they perfect :)

Big thanks to Cup O' Jo Photography for taking these great 1 year pictures of Missy. :)

Drumroll Please.....

Well, one day before our girl's birthday, Ashley decided it was time to walk! She's still crawling most of the time, but what a great way to celebrate her birthday early! Clubfoot..... what clubfoot?? :)

Zero is a GREAT Score!

Well, we are exactly one week away from Ashley's 1st birthday! Wow! I remember so vividly what I felt like last year at this point... HOT, HUGE and READY to have a baby!

So, we've been enjoying watching the summer Olympics for a few weeks now, so good scores are all over the TV. This week, we had the BEST score possible. We went to The Scottish Rite Hospital for our routine every 3 month check-up, and Miss Ashley got a 0! I know that sounds strange, but a zero is the best possible news that we can hope for when we go there. Clubfoot is rated on a scale of 0-20 (20 worst case). When Ashley was born, she was rated a 16, which in the range of "most severe" for clubfoot severity. When she finished her casting, she was at a 0, which is the plan. However, it is common for partial recurrence, which is why we go for a check-up every 3  months to make sure that if there is a relapse, we can act quickly with further treatment. So, long story short, this is one time in her life, that we were VERY HAPPY when she got a ZERO! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's a picture of her on our way out holding her birthday present from her nurse. THANK YOU, THANK YOU Scottish Rite Hospital for making our girl a zero! :)
