Calia went for her 18 month well child check today and has finally hit 20 pounds...21 lbs, 5 oz to be exact, putting her back on the 25%! She is 31 inches long, also the 25%. Our little peanut! No shots today, she was the model patient for both the resident who examined her and her doctor. When they said "I'm going to look in your ears," Calia rolled over onto her side with the ear facing up and stayed very still, then rolled over to the other. She did everything they asked with no prompting by mommy. She held the stethoscope when it wasn't being used and even knew to put the ear peices in her ears (and no we hadn't practiced that at home!) I was so proud.
Then we went to the lab to have her lead and hematocrit checked (supposed to have done at her 12 month visit, but I was dreading her reaction.) To my shock, when they poked her finger, Calia didn't even blink, then sat quietly on my lap watching them milk the blood out of her litle finger. What a big, brave girl. by the time we left the office, she had 4 stickers proudly displayed on her chest and was beaming with pride (as was her mommmy)! Our next visit isn't until she's 2 years old, oh my!
