Fifteen Months
Andrea's fifteen-month well check was this afternoon. Her head circumference is 19" which is hovering just above the 95th percentile. Her length is 32" which places Andrea at the 90th percentile. And her weight, 21 lbs 15 oz, is midway between the 25th and 50th percentile. She got two immunizations, one in each leg. She had practically no reaction to the first shot. Had it stopped at one shot, she may not have shed a single tear. However, after the second, she cried in protest, but calmed down pretty readily.
Unfortunately, I learned that our second favorite pediatrician is leaving the practice today. He's the one that we have seen most often for sick visits recently. There is one new doctor who I haven't seen with either kid yet, so perhaps there's another good option there. I only strongly dislike one out of the approximately ten doctors they have, so I guess my odds still are pretty reasonable to stay away from him.
Overall, Andrea is healthy. Let's see if we can stay out of the doctor's office with her until her next well check at 18 months! And that appointment will once again be with our favorite pediatrician in the practice.
