She's a Growing Girl

This morning Olivia had her 15 month check-up.

Weight: 21 lbs. 1 oz. (22%)
Height: 30 inches (35%)
Head Circumference: 45.6 cm (41%)

Immunizations Given: Varivax, MMR, Pentacel, Flu Shot

She was quite upset throughout this doctor's appointment and practically inconsolable even while we were waiting for the doctor and nurse to come into our exam room. She had her right big toe poked to check her hemoglobin level, which I think was 13.1 g/dL. This proceeded her measurements, which also caused her much distress. Anyway, her pediatrician said she is right on track, and at 15 months old her entire world is about exploring and getting attention. We held her while the doctor examined her as she was not cooperative; this was actually the first doctor's visit where she cried and fussed almost the entire time. I guess she now remembers what happens at the doctor's office. She did walk across the room for the doctor, though. She had 4 shots and got a prescription for cortisone cream to treat the tiny patch of excema on her right knee.
