The same day that I took Ella to the dentist, Sophie was scheduled for her two year old check-up. We were only three weeks late! I love our pediatrician, but I always forget how hard it is to get an appointment. I waited until the end of March to schedule it and there were no available appointments near her birthday. I even called back to check on cancellations and the first week of May was the best I could do. You wanna know what else is sad? I have no idea how much she weighed or how long she was! The doctor was kind enough to write it on a purple piece of paper (for this scatter-brained momma) and although I remember seeing the paper sometime on Thursday, I cannot for the life of me remember where that was. Sigh. For the record, she was still in the 25th percentile for weight and the ...

D Day
Last Tuesday was destined to be fairly traumatic. Sophie had her 15 month check up and as bad as those vaccinations can be, she wasn't the one I was most worried about. It seems that since Ella's 4 year old checkup, the vaccination recommendations have changed and the doctor didn't want to wait until her birthday. We decided to kill two kids, er, birds with one stone and let them head to the doctor together.

These photos are beyond deceiving because Ella hated the experience and ...

For whatever reason, I can never manage to get an early morning or late afternoon appointment scheduled for her, so I was forced to take a day from work and spend it with this little booger. Rats! {forgive the phone pics, I left the camera in the car by accident, so this is the best I got!} Here are the stats: 17 pounds, 7 ounces {25 percentile} -- Dr. Darby calls this "good skinny" 29 3/4 inches long {90 percentile} -- the average height of a 15 month old! 17.5 inch head circumference In case I haven't shared this before -- this dress is my absolute FAVORITE outfit we own. I let her wear it just about anytime we go anywhere that isn't church or school. She has matching tights and wears it with furry boots. I cannot take ...
