18 Month Well Check

Ava had her well check appt this morning. It was the first appointment in the last year that she didn't cry the whole time. I was really proud of her. She was shy though. She answered a few of the doctor's questions herself, and then turned to me for the rest. She's 32.5" and almost 24 pounds. Marshmellow. Her head is the largest part of her body--at 47.5 cm. Looks like she's taking after her daddy. :) She got a hep A shot in her left leg--which she was none too excited about, but she didn't cry for long, however now that we're home she's doing a walk-- walk-- whine routine. Poor little girl. She's done though-except for the flu shot each fall-until she goes into Kindergarden, so that's really nice.

When Dr. Strausser asked me for some of her vocab, I tried to get Ava to say the words themselves, but she was really shy. As soon as we get into the car, Ava starts running off the words she knows-puppy woof woof haha-duckie quack quack-it was unreal! She cracks me up.
