Abby's 15 Month Doctor Appointment


On, Tuesday November 20, 2012 Abbygale had her 15 month doctor's appointment with Dr. Frank.  Dr. Hughes was out of the office.  Abby is doing very well.  She is in the 75th percentile for both height and weight.  Her height is 31 inches and she weighs 24 pounds 2 ounces.  She didn't like her check-up much even after watch Doc McStuffin.  She didn't want some strange man weighing her or poking in her ears and mouth or checking her heart beat.  She wasn't very thrilled.  She had to get 4 shots, which was just awful.  She got two in one leg, one in one leg, and one in her arm.  She screamed like crazy, which I don't blame her.  I probably would have done the exact same thing!  But when it was all said and done, Abby did very well for a 15 month old at the doctor's office.

She is still on whole milk but we can slowly start switching her to 2 percent milk.  Dr. Frank said we didn't need to immediately because she is healthy and not overweight and/or too thin.  Abby is just perfect!  He said it is time to child proof the house.  Yes, we have known this for awhile now and it is pretty much done.  We do little by little when she finds something new she shouldn't have.

She will come back in around 18 months for another check-up, but Dr. Frank said between 18 and 19 months is just fine.  I think she will only be getting one shot next time which is joy to the ears.  Maybe Abby can handle one shot better than four.  Four is just crazy to me!

Here is Miss Abby all pretty and perfect ready to go to the doctor's office.
