We had Gemma's 15 month appointment this morning. We were in and out as there just wasn't much to discuss.
Current stats:
Height:32.75 inches (off the charts, over 100%ile for kids in her age group)
Weight: 24lbs 4 oz (85%ile for kids in her age group)
Head: 18.74 inches (90%ile for her age group)
In general, there weren't any real concerns about her growth and development, although I had to giggle when he warned me about the molars she would start cutting "any day now". She has had those molars for the last 3-4 months or perhaps longer. Gemma had her 3 shots and took it like a champ - she cried during but quit right away. She quit crying immediately and then continued to send very dirty looks towards the nurse.
The biggest issue we had was waiting for the appointment. Gemma had 2 tasks on her agenda:
1. Lick all the toys in the sick waiting area. Then the floor.
2. Crawl/wiggle behind the giant fish task in the waiting room. Then play with the wires. Or attempt to climb into the tank itself.
You'll be shocked to find I wasn't on board with her plans and thwarted her at every turn. Or tried at least. The secretaries behind the counter did their best, but at one point both of them were laughing out loud at her antics while she was trying to climb out of my arms with little regard for her own safety.
During her running, I noticed her poor little toenail fell off :( Poor baby! You'll all be glad to know I did not collect the nail for her baby book. Your welcome Gemma. No gross toenail legacy for you.
