12 mos check-up - take 2

Today was my actual 12 mos check up with my good friend Dr. Dobos. Funny story. Mama thought the appointment was on Monday so we went to her office then headed to Ridgefield. Once we got there, the receptionist said that the appointment was actually on Wednesday. Oopsie.

Mama laughed and we came back home. So, today we went back to Mama's office and I played and showed off my walking skills. Everyone was super impressed with how well I am walking, how I like to drop my toys and then pick them up again. We got to the doctor appointment and we went through the usual questions and procedure. I am:

19lbs 1 oz (16%)
29.75 inches tall (70%)
46 cm head circ. (75%)


Dr. Dobos said I'm on track to be tall and skinny like Daddy. :)

Mama was pretty impressed that I pooped 3 times while at the doctors office. I told her 2x that i wasn't done yet. But she insisted that I needed a butt change. whatever. now she has to refill her diaper bag. ha ha.

I had to have a toe prick which didn't hurt at all. Mama and I played a game on MY phone (really her phone, but i let her borrow it most of the time. I'm good at sharing). The nurse was pretty impressed that I didn't cry or move at all with the toe prick. They wanted to test my iron levels, lead and for TB.

Unfortunately, the next nurse who did my shots wasn't as lucky as the toe prick nurse. You don't want these nurses getting to cocky so I let her have it. I had to have 3 shots (chicken pox, MMR and another one that I can't remember), which i did NOT enjoy. I SCREAMED and tried to get away. Mama had to hold me down and she felt really badly. Mama thought since I hadn't had a reaction with the others that it'd be ok to skip giving me tylenol before this one. Boy was she WRONG WRONG WRONG. I have 3 huge welts / bumps on my poor little legs. Mama felt horrible and give me some advil the second the saw the bumps. I drank it all like a champ.

I also was a great patient for my hearing and vision test. The student nurse, Miss Abby, did my tests. I tried to be super good for her since it was her first time. Might as well get her spoiled by my amazingly awesome good behavior.

In the car Mama gave me a bottle and I fell asleep while I waited for Abuela Lita to show up and get me to bring me home. Mama let Abuela Lita take her car so that I could stay sleeping on my way home. Frankly, I think it's the least that Mama could do. Although I'm pretty sure if i bat my eyes I might get some yummy ice cream tonight to help with the shot pain.
