15 Month Check Up

I took Gracie for her 15 month check up this morning and Dr. Beeber confirmed what I already knew....That she is PERFECT! She is going to be a tall and skinny girl. She weighed 20lb and 8 oz but she was 31 1/2 inches long! She doesn't look that small to me but she is only 15th percentile for weight, however she is 85th percentile for height! She did much better on this visit, I think it helped having her big sister there with her. Hayden was very pleased that she wasn't going to be checked out today! Gracie didn't cry as much this time, she did cry when Ms. Pat tried to weigh her, so Ms. Pat left me in charge of the scale so we could get an accurate weight. Gracie talked, walked and played while she was waiting for Dr. Beeber. As soon as he came in the room and went to check her ears and listen to her heart she went CRAZY! Dr. Beeber says that she is very VOCAL! He says she is a happy, healthy 15 month old little girl and to keep doing everything we are doing and he will see her again at 18months. However, she did have to have two different shots, which Hayden was very excited about...I guess she figures it is time for someone else to have to get shots for a change. Gracie did cry when she got her shots today, but she didn't almost pass out this time so I guess that is improvement. I think her little legs may be a little sore but other than that she has been happy this afternoon. She is finally walking around a good bit now...Last time I posted that she started walking on her knees again!

I had to take Hayden with us this morning because Gracie's appointment was at 9am and Mimi had a dentist appointment at 8am. The original plan was to take Hayden to GWA this morning and let Mimi take her to school when it was time to go, but we changed it up and Mimi came by Dr. Beeber's office when she got done at the dentist and took Hayden on to school. Mimi got to walk Hayden into school when they got there. Mimi said all of her classmates were very excited to see her and that Paxton run up and gave her a BIG hug...I think Paxton may be her first preschool boyfriend, she says he has kissed her too, but don't worry Mark is prepared to have a little talk with Mr. Paxton if this continues!

Thanks Mimi for helping out! Hayden was so excited that you took her to school today!!!
