15-month checkup!

Today was Addie's 15-month checkup with the pediatrician! First, I have to say that I can't believe that she is 15 months old! Where does the time go?! It flies by too quickly...

Anyway, the visit went great! Dr. Hood said she is "perfect" (which we already knew :)). She is still a little peanut, measuring 29 1/2 inches long and weighing 20 pounds, 9 ounces. I am pretty sure she lost a little weight this past week, though, because she had an ear infection (clogged tube, bummer!) and she also got two new teeth (to bring her total to 10!), which really seemed to affect her appetite - and at her ER visit a few weeks ago, she was 20 pounds, 6 ounces. So, both measurements put her in the 25th percentile. Dr. Hood said that is perfectly fine!

Addie made sure to show off all of her new skills (talking, running, and just being her normal cute self) and made Dr. Hood laugh a lot. She was such a good girl until the very end, when it was about lunch time (and getting very close to nap time...). We had scheduled the appointment for 9:30, but they were running a bit slow today, so she started to get fussy. Then came the shots. She was NOT pleased about those. It was definitely the worst reaction she's had so far (just crying, but I swear, she acted like the nurse was trying to kill her!). But overall, a wonderful visit to the doctor! 3 more months til the next one, God willing...


And...I just realized I haven't uploaded any new pics, and I'm at school right now...I'll do that tomorrow evening, and post them right afterwards!

Hope everyone is staying relatively cool!
