18-month checkup

I took Aubrey to the doctor today for her 18-month checkup. After she tried to be dramatic by falling down on the floor so I couldn't take her to the back, the nurse took her measurements and I was amazed at them. She is 31" tall (30%), 24 lbs 12 oz (60%!), and her head is 47.5 cm (75%). That means she's added 3.5" in length and 5 lbs 9 oz (normal toddlers gain 5 lbs in a year!) since January. The doctor came in and said she looks fine and didn't seem too worried about the chunkster's weight. She said she'll continue to slim down as she gets more and more active. Aubrey decided to become Ms. Fussy Pants while the doctor was trying to do the exam and didn't want the doctor touching her. And when she went to check her ears, you would have thought she was killing her the way she carried on. She was impressed with Aubrey's language and said everything else looked great. Then the nurse came back in the give her the last 2 shots until age 4(yippie!!) and the water works began. Luckily, she calmed down after I picked her up and she only cried for 30 seconds. All in all not a bad visit and I am glad we are done with shots for a while.
