12 Month Checkup

Natalie had her 12 month checkup recently and the doctor said she's looking great and right on target with her development (duh!). Unfortunately, she had to have 4 shots!!! and a finger pricked for blood work. It was soooooo sad. Matt had the afternoon off so he took her home afterwards so she didn't have to back to school.
