Yesterday was your 15 month doctor appointment and it's been confirmed by a medical professional that you are smart, beautiful, witty and awesome!!
I took yesterday off for the event. We woke up headed to the doctor's and she was running late. 45 minutes to be exact!! We weighed you and you weigh 19 pounds and 10 ounces!! WOW!! You are still quite small for your age, but you're growing fast and catching up!!
The doctor finally made it to our room and had an intern with her this time. The first thing the doctor said to the intern was "this 15 month old is not your typical 15 month old, she's more like a 20 month old!" WOW!! And boy is she right!!
We told the doctor all the things you say and do and you are way ahead of schedule PLUS you are very sociable which is not common among children your age.
At one point you put your arms up for the doctor to hold you and she said "it's not me she wants, Maizy wants the stethoscope around my neck, she has motives, she is thinking and this is very typical of a 2 year old. See." The doctor picked you up and your grabbed her stethoscope. You my dear are very smart and tricky.
They took your measurements and your head circumference is in the 7th percentile while your height and weight is in the 44th percentile.
After meeting with the doctor it was time to go get your immunizations. Saddest thing for sure. You had to get three shots - measles, chicken pox and hepatitis A - 2 in your left leg and one in your right. Poor thing. You cried so hard, it made me cry. This was the worst round of shots so far. On the way to the car you would think about it and get pissed off that it was still hurting I could just tell. Then when we were in the car you kept crying and was grabbing at your legs and I don't think it helped that we were all starving! We didn't anticipate the doctor taking so long. Grandma to the rescue. She also had the day off and was all ready to meet us at Mimi's Cafe for lunch. Dad dropped us off while he went to work for a few, so we had a wonderful, well deserved lunch with Grandma. Then we went to Target with Grandma for a few things and then she drove us home and dropped us off. You slept in the car on the way home and that's all you slept. All day. You had too much to do but I loved it because we spent all day together!! YAY!!
We played, we chased each other, we ate dinner, laughed and cuddled. Then dad got home and we did all that all over again!! You are such a delight!! At one point the doctor said "don't you just enjoy her." And while the answer is "Yes! Yes! Yes!" It's bigger than that. We love you with all that we are. You are a true delight in our lives. We would do anything for you. You add and bring so much to not only our lives but the rest of the family too!
You are a true blessing and we love you!
Love,
mommy
