Gracie had to go for her 18 month check up today. Mark was actually back home this morning before we had to leave to go to Dr. Beeber's office so he got to go too! Hayden only went so that she could see Gracie get shots. As you have read in recent posts...Hayden is TERRIFIED of shots so she was excited that someone else had to get some. It was actually the fastest doctors appointment we have ever had, usually we ended up spending at least and hour or more at the doctor but today we were in and out of there within 45 minutes. Ms. Pat came in to get Gracie's weight and measurements first. Gracie absolutely does not like anyone she doesn't know to touch her, I don't know where she could have possibly gotten that from(just kidding my Mom says I was always the same way)! Gracie weighed 22lbs 2oz and was 31 1/2 inches long. It was funny because the first thing Ms. Pat said when she came into to the room was "Wow she is so tall". I guess I don't notice it as much because I see her everyday. She was 25th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. After Ms. Pat got finished I told Mark to just wait and see how Gracie reacts when Dr. Beeber comes into the room. He thought I was exaggerating a little, but I promise I wasn't. As soon as Dr. Beeber came into the room, Gracie held up her hand and started saying "No No". Of course Dr. Beeber laughed but she wasn't kidding. She screamed the whole time he checked her out and once again he confirmed that she is perfect. When Dr. Beeber was getting ready to leave the room, Gracie started cutting her eyes at him, pointing her finger and talking to him. I can only imagine what she was trying to say. Dr. Beeber agreed that he probably didn't want to know what she was saying and just laughed. He did say that she has a lot of personality about her, which is very true. He also told Mark and I that we have two beautiful little girls and he is enjoying watching them grow up too! Unfortunately Gracie did have to get one shot today and Hayden was very excited about it until Gracie started crying, and yes once again Gracie held her breath until she almost passed out after Ms. Pat gave her the shot. I sure do hope she out grows that! Hayden was very upset for her little sister after the shot was given, she went over to Gracie and held her little hand and told her everything would be okay.
Then it was on to some fun stuff, I always take my girls and let them pick out a surprise after they have doctor visits. We went to Wal-Mart to do a little grocery shopping and Gracie got a new ball since she had to have a shot today. She loves to throw balls, and she is pretty good at it too! Hayden got another puzzle, she said that she needed a surprise too since Gracie had to get a shot.
On the way back home we stopped by to see Nana and Steve. Gracie showed off big time today. She was being so SILLY and it is even better when she laughs at herself. I haven't heard Nana laugh like that in a long time. The girls were glad to see Nana and Steve but they were hungry and tired by this point so we didn't stay but a few minutues.
Gracie doesn't have to go back for another check up until she is two. I can't believe that in just 6 months she will be two. She is growing up way too fast!
