Meredith's 2 Year Old Check-Up

Meredith went to the doctor last Tuesday for her 2 year old visit. On the way to the doctors office Meredith and I talked about what the doctor and the nurses were going to do and what she could expect and let me tell you Meredith is BRILLIANT! She went into the office she got on the scale and stood with her little hands down ready to be weighed (just like we do at Publix) then she stood straight next to the ruler thing on the wall and they measured her height.

We went into our exam room and the doctor came and she looked in Meredith's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, listened to her heart and lungs and checked her tummy and neck. Meredith did great. She was not even nervous because she knew what was going to happen. Then the shot lady came in. Now, I told myself not to lie to her and I told her about the 2 shots she had to have and that they were going to hurt, but the pain would be somewhat quick and then it would go away. Well she had her shots and she cried and I cried and then we were all done and thank goodness we don't have to do this again for a long, long time. Her next check up is not until she is 3 years old and then there will be no shots.

So, how is Meredith doing? She is 36 inches tall, which puts her at the 95th percentile for other kids her age. She weighs 29 pounds which puts her at the 75th percentile of other kids her age. Her BMI is at 15.8 which is a very healthy weight for a young girl her age. Overall, she is healthy and shiny and perfect.
