Sophia had her nine month appointment Tuesday, Aug. 12, in American Fork. We love her pediatrician up there, so we're going to stick with him — unless he's not covered by our new insurance when we eventually switch over to that.
The doc said Sophie looked like the epitome of a healthy baby when he came into the office, as Sophie was busy trying to figure him out and play on the floor at the same time. This visit was also good because it involved no shots, which meant no screaming baby.
Since now going to a pediatrician means four hours of driving are involved, we made a day of it, leaving from Austin around noon. We made it to A.F. right in time for the appointment, and afterward decided to do a little shopping at Target and the mall. We made a real day of it. Plus I got to spend a good amount of time with Annie and Sophie during the week for once.
The day before the visit to the doctor, Annie had an interview with the school district on Monday, which she said went pretty good. It must have, considering she was contacted by Randy Brown, the principal at Richfield High, and offered a job as an aide for a blind girl for the school year.
At first Annie seemed a little hesitant about calling him (since he contacted me first and since she wants to get in with the elementary schools, not high schools), but she said she felt really good about the position after talking to him about it. The principal was really excited to get Annie as an aide, too, since we was the principal at SSMS while we both were there. I'm really excited for her, I think she'll do well and learn a lot from this girl.
Dating even further back than both these events, we ended up going to Utah County over that weekend for a couple things. First, I had tickets for Lagoon from work so Annie and I went with Trent and Jessica Saturday morning and we went on all the newer rides — you know, the good rides.
Trent and Jessica hadn't been to Lagoon since the traditional SSHS Senior Day trip to the Farmington Factory of Fun (Lagoon), so they had never had the experience of being tossed like a salad on the Samurai. Turns out that even though they were worried about all the spinning pre-ride, it was one of their favorite rides of the day.
The next evening we went to one of Annie's mom's sister's house (they're possessive ... get it ... so, I'm a nerd) for a barbecue. It was fun, and I even made it into the top eight for this Fear Factor-esque competition they do every year. The goal was to do a sports-oriented obstacle course in the fastest time and getting time deducted for being good — making baskets and goals.
the competition usually evolves each round into people consuming really gross stuff — this year involved teams putting eggs in their mouths, spitting them out, and digging through the regurgitated egg; and last year people puked up curdling milk — so of course I was not disappointed when we were getting in the car to head for home when I found out that I made the top eight, but would not be able to continue on to round two.
All in all, we've had some fun over the past week — as you can probably tell.

Sounds like loads of fun. I am excited about a doctor visit that doesn't involve getting shots, but this next one for us won't be it. Drat.
