Dr Visits

I took Leah to her 2-year well child check Tuesday.

She is doing just great! I didn’t remember if she had kicked a ball yet, but she is able to jump with both feet off the ground (and happily demonstrated) and stack blocks, and copy a straight line.

After I made the post about her vocabulary, of course she started saying a ton more things and coming up with longer and more complex sentences. (She said an 8-word sentence this morning: "I need watch baby Elmo on the TV," except she pronounces it "tee-bee".) She's also coming right along with potty training.

She really likes to play pretend and take care of all of her various babies/stuffed animals. She’ll also take any given pair of inanimate objects and declare one the “mama” and one the “baby.”

She had to have blood drawn for a lead screen, and while we were over at the lab, she heard a baby crying and noted, “baby’s sad.” She was a trouper for her own blood draw - it was no fun but not terribly traumatic.

Weight: 25.25 pounds (29th percentile)

Height: 2 feet, 8.3 inches tall (17th percentile)

Head Circumference: 47.5cm (59th percentile)

Up about 2 pounds and 2 inches from her last appointment.

But then she woke up the next day with a 101 temperature, and I decided to take her back into the doctor since I know the flu has been going around. Less than an hour later, Amelie’s school sent her home with 100.2 temp and so we all three went. Amelie was acting pretty chipper - she ate a pork chop with Sam when she got back for second breakfast and was chatting up a storm and her temp was down by the time we got to the office, but Leah's was up to 102.2 at the doc and she was positive for Influenza A.

All pictures are from Tuesday when she was well!
