Today, we ventured into the doctor's office for Josie's 18 month wellness visit, even though she is officially 19 months old. She brought a smile to all of the nurses faces when she came in greeting all of them with a smiley "hi." She was behaving herself for the nurse, that was until the doctor came in. Usually, she is all happy and plays with him, however today she had not had her nap yet and was tired and did not want to be messed with.
The last time we were in at the doctors was on December 23, 2008. Her measurements were:
Weight - 19 lbs 9 oz - 7%-tile
Height - 30.5 inches - 53%-tile
Head - 45 cm - 25%-tile
Since then she has done a little growing, but not much. I do have to say that she had a growth spurt in her height and it now considered to be tall for her age. So, she is tall and skinny. Here measurements today were:
Weight - 21 lbs 6 oz - 7%-tile
Height - 33 inches - 78%-tile
Head - 45 cm - 13%-tile
Which means that she gained 1 lb 14 oz and grew 2 1/2 inches. Man is she tall now.
Brent and I have decided not be give Josie the chicken-pox shot right now, but just see if she gets it on her own. If she has not the poxes before Kindergarten then we will revisit the issue.
She did get 1 shot today and did excellent! She nurse stuck the needle in and instead of crying or wiggling she just flashed her "the look" of what the heck are you doing to me. Not one tear was shed, not one cry was made. What a big girl!
We will not venture back to the doctors now until she is 2 years old. Yeah, that is right I said 2. She will be 2 in just a matter of 5 more months.
