Paige went to the doctor today and she is doing great, except for her weight. Dr. Herrbold was a little concerned because her weight gain has slowed down even more, so now she is not even on the growth curve. She weighs 17 lbs and 15oz, which is only a 12oz gain in the last three months...NOT GOOD! However, she is growing in height and head circumference at the same pace as before and staying right at the 25th percentile for both. Her height is 29 3/4 in. and her head circum. is 17 3/4 in. So, we have to go back to the doctor in a month to see how her weight is. Hopefully, she will have gained a bit more...well, a lot more! If she doesn't we may have to get some blood work done to make sure everything is okay.
As far as the rest of the doctor visit...Paige was afraid of the stethoscope for some reason and freaked out every time Dr. Herrbold tried to listen to her heart. She would cry really, really hard and was almost inconsolable. I couldn't believe how upset she was. It was weird because she has never minded the stethoscope before. Maybe she remembers what her last visit was like (getting her blood drawn) and didn't want any foreign objects coming near her. So, you can probably imagine she wasn't too happy when it was time for her shots, either! I hope she does okay when we go back in November. Wish me/us luck!
She still thinks pumpkins are to sit on...cute!
Taking off the lid...she said, "uh, uh, uh"
"I am not coming over there, Mom!"
"This is as close as I am going to get!"
"Is all of that slimy stuff gone?!"
The finished product...not too shabby for a 15 year hiatus!
