Well Miss Katherine had her 15 month check up this morning...yes I am very aware that she is now 16 months old, but her doctor was booked up until today, so we took the first available appointment! So, we went to the doctor this morning around 9:20 as her appt time was 9:30. There was a little boy in the waiting room who is 8 months old and I swear he was twice the size of Katherine...who is twice his age! Yikes! She was fascinated by him and they had a staring contest while we waited. Our pediatrician always has hospital rounds first thing in the morning, so she is usually running a little behind, which of course was the case today! So after Katherine got weighed and measured, we had a naked kiddo running around the office for about 30 minutes. The nurses were all highly entertained especially since every time the nurses said the word "dance" Katherine was just start dancing. I think she entertained the entire office!
Finally the doctor showed up and said that Miss Katherine is still long and lean...she weighed in at 20lbs on the nose and 30" long. That puts her in the 5th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. The doctor said that she looks perfectly healthy so no worries on that end! The doctor then asked her to give her five which Katherine immediately shook her head no to...we have a super independent kiddo. Luckily the doctor was totally amused and not offended. :) She had to get one shot...yucky! But other than that we were good to go! We did find out that she is cutting her molars right now, which is a bit odd considering she still has some front teeth that haven't shown up yet, but I guess that explains the crankiness. She's got four coming in all at once! Yikes! We were also told to start having "play" potty time so that she can get used to sitting on the potty and that it's fun...oh goody. Now I have to figure out what kind of potty to get! Hopefully we have a kiddo that likes being independent and catches on really quickly. ;o) We finally left the doctor's office at 11:10am...yes that's right almost 2 hours after we got there! Luckily Katherine was very well behaved and Mommy came prepared with LOTS of snacks and toys! ;)
Tomorrow we're headed to Grandma and Grandaddy Corell's house for a pool party since Christopher is going to be at a wedding! Should be fun and hopefully I have some great pictures for next week! Until then, have a great weekend!
