Cougars, And Tigers, And Meerkats! Oh, My!

The Johnson’s got another family membership today. Craig, Dagny and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to the zoo.

We have been itching to take Dagny for a while now after noticing how much she loves animals. This kid’s eyes light up at any sight of an animal, and has no fear of them whatsoever. So, the no fear thing is not something I am terribly excited about but it’s great that she doesn’t freak out at a new dog or cat. With that said, she loved it! We can’t wait to go back when the weather is even better and more of the animals decide to play.

The Meerkats were by far my favorite… they are so ridiculously cute and funny.

I know I am on a roll with posts lately. I am sure I will eventually slow down. It’s just Dagny has entered a new level of cuteness. She is on the go and interested is trying new things. It’s been really fun at our house lately. I just can’t stop myself.

15-Month Check Up

When we got to the office I could see that Dagny was remembering “the place” because she really was on the verge of crying. I could see in her face the struggle. I was very glad that she opted against it, well until later. I have a feeling that next time I won’t be as lucky and she might not wait.

The minute I put her on the table to get her undressed, she lost it and started crying. It breaks my heart to see her like that. We somehow got her measured and weight. While we waited for Dr. P Dagny was sitting on my lap and we were looking through all the books in the room. It is so great that she is happy around books. In fact, I think at this point books are her favorite “toy”.

Dr. P told me that her blood work was great. Dagny is both physically and developmentally on target for her age. That’s wonderful being that Dagny lived in a foreign country the first year of her life and she didn’t have individual attention. So, of course that was music to my ears. I was so happy to hear that from the doctor. We all know that parents are bias and feel their children are perfect. In this case it was great to hear that Dagny is on mark and Craig and I are doing the right things.

To top off the visit poor little baby got three shots. She got Hepatitis A, Chickenpox, and MMR. Thankful, the nurse was super quick.

Here are her stats:

  • Weight – 23 lbs 15 oz – 55%
  • Height – 31 in 3/4 – 55%
  • Head Circumference – 18 in 1/4 – 55%

Seriously, one proportional child.
