12 Month Well Check

Page had her 12 month well check today. I put EMLA cream on prior to the appointment as I always do so Page won't feel the poke. However, she was not having it. She was so mad about having the dressings on her thighs. She refused to eat or nap & fussed for about 30 minutes. I took the cream off as it is suppose to make things easier for her. She cried more for the immunizations but recovered quickly. Hopefully, it goes better at 15 months. If only she could understand :) Anyhow, Page is doing great. She has gained 1.1lbs in the last 13 days thanks to the PediaSure!! She is hanging on the chart at the 4th percentile but is 30 inches now & at the 76th percentile for height. She is growing like crazy! We will do all we can to help her gain weight but she may just be a tall & skinny little lady :) Page's head circumference is 17.5 inches (27th percentile). She is doing great developmentally & Dr Valenzuela has no concerns. Page will have her next well check at 15 months & we will bring her in for a flu shot in the fall. Very thankful Page is a healthy little girl!!

PS...Page told the doctor "no" when she tried to listen to her. What an appropriate way to use the word for the first time ;) I'm sure she will be using it often over the next few years!
