Clara had her 15-month check-up today. I wasn't sure how it was going to go. She's not exactly easy for me to wrangle myself these days.
She also decided to opt out of a nap today. Fun!
She ran laps around the waiting room while we waited. We always end up waiting longer than I think we should but whatever....
Clara did really well for the most part. We got her weight right away and then spent a few minutes going over the developmental milestones she should have reached. She also got her head and chest measured and finally her height. I don't know why laying her down makes her so unhappy but she hated it (it may have had something to do with the not-napping).
Once the nurse was done Dr Smith came in. Cue meltdown. Thankfully he has 3 kids and being a family doctor is never put out by it. He said that this is all really typical considering how advanced she is in that part of her development. He said the same thing upon hearing about her temper tantrums and boundary-testing. He was quite pleased to hear that she now says 7 words. They only "need" to be able to say 3 words by 18 months.
So, all in all it was a great check-up. I was also glad to hear that her ear infection has completely cleared up, too.
Final numbers:
Height: 32.5" (95th percentile)
Weight: 26lbs (90th percentile)
Head: 46cm
Chest: 48.5cm
Her next appointment is scheduled for May 18th. At that point we'll also have 2-count 'em-2 kids by then!! Yay! She'll also be 18 months old. Holy moly!
