Catherine had her 18 month well child check up today. Oh what fun. All in all, it was fine and we both survived. She does really well for the most part, but she hates being forced to sit still for anything, so it inevitably ends with fussing, a few tears and having to hold her down for a few seconds. But the shot? Single shot, first of all - whew! She screamed when the needle first went in, but it was over in 30 seconds and she hasn't fussed about it since. Yea!
Overall, the doc was impressed. No problems or worries - that's always good. And the doc says that it appears that she's ahead of the curve for many things in development. Wahoo!
The lowdown on stats:
Weight: 29 lbs 4 oz
Height: 33 1/4 "
95th/98th percentile, respectively. Same as she has always been - just fine proportionately, but just big for her age.
We were sent home with a clean bill of health and a "see you in 6 months". I gave Catherine a big hug and told her that she did so well and told her all the reasons why. And then I treated her to ice cream (which I never do) and playing at the mall playground, with plenty of hugs and kisses.
Till the next time...
