15 Month Checkup

Overall, it went really well. She weighs 23.5 pounds and is 29" long. She is in the 50th percentile in height and 75th in weight. So, basically, she is short and stout! The doctor was extremely impressed with her mobility, coordination and especially, her vocabulary. We did get chewed out for her still being on the bottle. She gave us a deadline of Christmas to get her off it. I don't like those kinds of deadlines! So, I will give it a shot when I'm off work for a week during Christmastime. We really should have done this earlier, but we've been dreading it since day one!

Then, at the end of the appointment, she had to get 5 different shots. My husband took her into the back room, because I just can't handle it. Then I hear her screaming and crying to the nurse "All done, all done, all done". It was soooo pitiful. Then Casey came out with tears in his eyes. He felt she had looked right into his soul as if to say "how could you let her do that to me?". Then, the nurse asked if she could have a lollipop. Casey said no, because I normally don't let her have any candy, but I immediately said yes. I let Casey give it to her so he could make peace and she immediately shut up. She was sooo happy on the way to my mom's. She knew exactly what to do with that lollipop. She called it her "pipipop!" It was so precious.

She has been a lot of fun these last few weeks. And she's just so charming with everyone. Yesterday we were over our friends' house that have a 4 month old baby, and she was bouncing her on her bouncy, saying "wheeeee!". She loves babies. She'll just have to play with other people's babies, because I don't plan on having any more! And that's ok. I have a beautiful, perfect little girl, who is the center of my universe. When and if I feel there's something missing in my family, I will cross that bridge then!
