Check Up

Today we had Sophie's check-up with the doctor. I was a little bit nervous about taking her, because I knew she wasn't going to like it! Boy, do I know my child, or what?
First, let me preface the story with that she has had a runny nose off and on now for like a month, or maybe even longer. It has been crazy.
So, the nurse goes first. Takes her temperature, measures her length, measures her head, takes her weight, and my favorite part: asks me all of the developmental questions. For example: does she say "mama or dada," does she stoop and recover by standing on her own, does she turn pages of a book, does she imitate your actions, etc. I don't know why this is my favorite part, but it is.
Then the doctor comes in to do his part. This is when the fun begins. She didn't like him touching her one bit! She even pushed the stethoscope away. Funny girl.
He did discover that she has (her first) ear infection in her left ear. Hence the runny nose. Poor baby... but I consider it lucky that this is the first one and she is already over a year old. If I remember correctly, Zach had a few by this age. Dr. Patel prescribed some good 'ol antibiotics for it and we get to go back in two weeks to make sure it has cleared up.
Then the dreaded part... THE SHOTS! Oh, how I hate this part. I have to stand there and help hold my poor baby down, while she crys and screams her lungs out. She is so strong though. The nurse had to keep pinning her legs down, while commenting that she was very strong.
Sophie recovered soon after and we were on our way home to take a much needed nap!

Oh, I almost forgot...
Her weight now: 19lbs. 15.6oz. Still a tall and skinny girl!!!!!! :)
