Mia had her 12 month developmental check up today and everything was fine. She is 73cm tall and now weighs 9.5 kg, so about average. They were quite amazed with her walking abilities, they said she seemed very strong and stable on her legs. Everything else with her development is fine, plenty of babbling and attempts to say words.
I then went over to the childcare centre to get the enrolment forms and the atmosphere there was great. There seemed to be lots of kids in there and they all seemed very happy. They were having their lunch, so most of them were sat in highchairs. So I put Mia down on the floor whilst I continued chatting to the director and she just stood and stared at all the children. She kept pointing at them and looking up at me as if she was showing them to me. She seemed quite excited by it all. Everyone thought she was cute and couldn't believe she was walking, saying something like "She looks too small to be walking". Then something must've spooked her as she tried to climb up my leg. So I came out of there a bit happier at putting her in there for two days a week. There were pictures hanging from the ceiling, so they must've just done some painting (well, scribbling or making a mess). I love that, can't wait for Mia to start scribbling, playing in the sandpit and generally making a big mess whilst having fun with other kids. It's just what she needs. I'm sure she'll love it, and I don't think it will take her that long to settle in.
