I told her this morning that we had to go see Dr. Joe today for a check up. Luckily she has been healthy all winter and hasn't had to see him since her 18 month check up. This is a huge change from our previous weekly visits for weight checks. She has been dancing around the house all day singing "Dotter Joe, Dotter Joe....I dit stitters!" She wanted "two powy tails" this morning and kept saying "I bye-bye? See Dotter Joe?" ALL day!
When we got to the doctor, we didn't even have to go in the waiting room which is very odd because there is ALWAYS a wait for Dr. Joe. The nurse had to do a toe prick to test her iron and lead levels. She just sat there so still and didn't cry or move a muscle the whole time.
When Dr. Joe came in, she immediately started asking for stickers. She was so good for him and he made sure that she got TONS of stickers. He also gave her some tongue depressors with smiley faces on them, so she was a happy girl. Then she had to get a shot (she was one behind because they delayed some of them when she was having her weight issues) and she sat there so brave and didn't even cry. What a big girl!
Everything checked out and Callie is healthy and happy! He wants me to try starting her on Claritin because she's had a snotty nose and redness under her eyes since Sunday when the weather got really warm. I wasn't surprised by this because we all have seasonal allergies here and it was only a matter of time :)
Callie weighs 23 lbs. 15 ounces. That puts her all the way up to the 15th percentile!!! WOW! That's so good for her since she has spent most of her life in the single digits or off the charts all together. She is 32 1/4 inches tall which puts her in the 20th percentile for height. Her head is in the 50th percentile.
Here's a picture of Callie with her loot from Dr. Joe!
