18 months and thriving

January 18, 2007

Mel had her 18 month check-up appt on Tuesday. She clapped and yelled YAAAA when I pulled into the parking lot. Ok, maybe I have taken her there a couple of times, but hey I am a first time mom and better to be safe than sorry. So, her appt went very well. She weighs 25lbs and is almost 32 inches. I mentioned that she had 10 more to go before Disneyland and our nurse (who worked at Marine World) said it is 43 inches for most rides. Hmm, we have a way to go. Melina is in the 55% percentile for height and 50% for weight. Her head circumference is a bit on the high end, but she wears it well!

Her pediatrician was very impressed with her communication skills and her determination as she was normal Mel in there. Thank goodness both Bill and I were there so I could actually go through my list, ask my questions and hear the responses. We had very important questions such as toothpaste/no toothpaste, start potty/hold off on potty, rash or dry skin, 40 oz of milk a bad thing, etc. :)

All went well and then the shots. Poor thing got 4 shots, 2 in each leg. After her nap that day, when I went in to get her, she pointed to her band-aids and said "ouchie mama, ouchie." It was really sad. She had a fever for a full day and walked like Frankenstein because her little legs were so sore.
