Yesterday, Emily had her twelve month checkup. She did pretty good until the nurse came in to give her the shots. She got a shot in each leg and then the flu shot in her arm. They only gave her half of the flu shot so we have to go back in thirty days to get the rest. They also had to take blood in her arm. I was relieved when it only took the nurse one time to poke her. The last time she had her blood taken was when we had to take her to the emergency room for a high temperature. The nurses poked her at least twenty times in several places and could never get it threaded. She had bruises up and down her arms and legs that time. Here are her stats:
18 pounds 1 oz. (20th percentile)
27 inches long (5th percentile)
Her pediatrician says she is just a petite little thing. I also tried giving her some eggs and milk today. Her doctor said it was okay to try the allergic foods to see how she does and if she might be allergic to them. I've also learned, from being home this week on vacation, that she really likes green beans and corn. The green beans were from Billy Sim's BBQ and the corn was from Chili's. No wonder she liked them so much. I just looked over at her and she is pulling everything out of my purse. Out of all the toys she got for her birthday she'd rather play with a pen and some tooth floss. And now she's trying to hand me a tampon. Hope that wasn't too much information. :)
