We can’t believe she’s 18 months and counting. Ever since she was about 6 months old, time has flown so fast that I have to re-read some of my blog posts to keep up with what has happened, then wish I took the time to write more cus there really is soooo much more to this little girl’s life. The speed at which she’s growing and learning is unbelievable and shocks us time and time again. I suppose adults do shocking things still hence the purpose for all these tabloid magazines…hehe…
Anyhow, Katie went to her 18 month check up with her pediatrician yesterday morning. She did really well. Her doc was amazed at how much she has grown since she last saw her 6 months ago. Katie jumped 10% tiles in her height and a bit in the weight and head size categories too. The doc was ecstatic to hear about all of her other developments from climbing out of her queen size bed on her own to walking the balance beam at gym class and addressing her immediate families properly.
We didn’t have many concerns to ask the doc so it was a pretty short and sweet visit. But, not quite done until we stopby the injection clinic downstairs to catchup on shots. Once we were called, Katie immediately recognized the room and the nurse to know pain was coming. She held on to her Daddy tight and the tears started to pour. After the shots, she was not to leave without compensation and asked for stickers as she sobbed. The nurse didn’t have any out and totally forgot until Katie begged ‘stickers, stickers, stickers’. The nurse, Yogi and I looked at each other like, where the heck, how the heck…lol… Katie said thank you and she started to calm down with the pretty stickers in hand. Oh man, don’t us parent ever think that kids might forget cus they usually don’t with the things that matters most, at least for their age.
After the doc visit, she took a short nap on the way home and once home, she was the energizer bunny. It didn’t feel right to keep her cooped up indoors on a beautiful sunny day so we met up with her cousin Tyrus at a nearby park for some running around and playing in the sand box. We were starting to think they gave her steroid shots instead of her chickenbox vaccine. She ran a low fever over night and this morning. Grandma said Grandpa gave her another dose of Motrin this morning and is doing fine. A parent’s job is never ever done.
Checking for gold.
Have a great week!
