growing on up!

My little girl has made it to the 2nd percentile in weight (she's 23 lbs)! She still is about average in height but she is climbing onto the growth charts for weight ever so slowly! I tried to see if we could cut out her calorie supplement (the bottle of whole milk with instant start breakfast in it to make sure she drank every drop) but the doctor wants her higher on the charts first. Oh well! I did finally get the go ahead to switch her supplement to breakfast instead of bedtime and was told if she didn't drink it all it is finally okay- so YAY no more bottles!!! I hope this doesn't include a fight at bedtime! (She fell asleep before we even got jams on tonight)

Addie has this weird love for the doctor. Anytime she gets a bump or bruise she asks to go to see the "doc-tuh". So finally when her three weeks of allergies turned nasty green today I made an appointment. (I've called the doctor a few times over these weeks to make sure it was nothing more than allergies- she had no fever or anything like that) Anyways, Addie was THRILLED.

This time instead of sitting in my lap for the exam like usual, she wanted to sit on the table, she did everything the doctor asked her to do and she even was excited to take her medicine tonight... even the nasal spray. She's never been a pill at the doctor, but always been really shy and didn't want to sit on the table, so Dr. C and the other doctors always just did the exams with her in my lap. I'm hoping she keeps on loving the doctor! She got a sticker after and we got an ice cream cone while we waited on her prescription to be filled. *she has a sinus infection like I figured

Thank Heavens, taking an unhappy, sick child to the doctor is miserable! :(
