Presley Turns 1!

The baby girl had her first birthday last week! She paraded around like the queen in her castle, but she was surprisingly uninterested in her birthday cake. She did, however, seem to enjoy bossing her sister and cousin around as they cleaned up the wrapping paper and trash as she opened her gifts. As her personality emerges, we are realizing that we certainly won't have to worry about her holding her own against the big girls.

Today, however, she's not feeling well. Two nights ago, she woke us up at around 2 a.m. and stayed awake until after 5. I should have seen it coming, since that seems to be her illness pattern: a sleepless night means a fever the next day. She seemed fine most of yesterday, but last night her temperature was 101.5. Today it's a little lower (just over 100), but she's definitely not her happy, active self. We'll give it a day or so, but we might be making another visit to Dr. Lee's office.

For the record, at her 1-year well visit, Presley weighed 21 lbs. 5.5 oz. (not as big as we thought), and was 30.25 in. tall. She's in the 85th percentile of height and around the 55th in weight.
