AC's 15 month checkup (at 16mos)

AC had her "15 month" checkup today - just 1 month late ;)
Here are her stats:

Height: 31" (56%)
Weight: 21lbs 12oz (26%)
Head: 46.5cm (62%)

While waiting for Dr. Carter she walked around the room non stop - back and forth.... she was happy as a clam singing and being herself... until he came in ;) But she did pretty good - just kept telling him "No" and pushing his hand away.

She has hit and exceeded all of her milestones and overall the doc said she's doing great! Well... there were 2 we were unsure of. One is kicking a ball - we've never really had a ball for her to kick so we didn't know. The other was can she use a fork (she has mastered the spoon, but we've never given her a fork). So when we came home I found a ball and put it down, kicked it to her and said "Anna can you kick it?" She looked at the ball pulled her foot back and said "KICKIT" and then kicked the ball!! Ok - pass ;) For dinner that night I gave her a fork and carrots and showed her how to stab the carrots with a fork. At first she kept handing the fork back to me after every bite, but then I walked away and she started stabbing the carrots with a fork and feeding herself! Pass! So 100% on milestones :)

He said he still hears the heart murmur but he said it's a functional murmur and is common with growing in young children and that we would keep an eye on it until her 2year checkup and then go from there.

She got her Hib shot and Prevnar- still waiting on the MMR and we didnt do the flu vaccine either. She really wasnt that fussy (maybe because she brought TWO 'baby go's' in and had a paci...) and she kept telling us night night because poor thing was exhausted. It was well past her nap time.

She came home and went straight to sleep. We are so proud of our little girl!!! She is such an amazing blessing and we were so glad to have a good healthy check up!!

  1. Wow! that's great.. it's so funny about the fork and the spoon.. it's usually the other way around.. Kids master the fork first and then (much later) the spoon! You've got one smart cookie in your hands... but I'm sure you already knew that! ;)
