12 Month Doctor Visit

Adriana went to the doctor yesterday and did great.  She got two shots and cried for about a minute and then stopped but had big tears rolling down her face.  I felt so bad for her because she did so good at the appointment and then those dreaded shots at the end to ruin her good experience.  Anyways, the doctor is happy with her progress.  Adriana should be saying about five words by now and trying to crawl up onto furniture.  We have some things to work on and we are continuously walking with her several times a day.  She actually is happiest when we walk together.  She gets all excited and her feet bounce up and down when it's time to walk.  She is 19 pounds, only up .9 pounds since her last appointment.  This puts in her in the 15% for weight (American charts).  This means 85% of kids her age weigh more.  Her length is 29".  She is in the 43% so 57% of kids are taller than her.  So height is close to average but she is low in weight.  Her head size is average.  Everything is good and the doctor is great, a really down to earth lady.  I can't tell you how important it is to have a nice, easy going doctor, who takes their time and listens.  Next appointment is in three months.
