Doctor, Doctor

Today we had to go for your 18 month check-up. You were such a big girl, in fact you even learned how to open the door and escape from the room while we were waiting for Dr. Tran to come in. You ran into the play area to grab the chair. Apparently you wanted a place to sit down too. So you brought the chair in, grabbed your book and read, "Goodnight Moon" while Dr. Tran checked you out. She said you looked pretty darn good. She was glad to see that you are talking so much and impressed at how fast you run. She didn't hear any murmur and even said your ezcema looks a lot better. She did say that it's time to go cold turkey on the bottle before bed. Shucks:)
You now weigh 26 pounds and are 31 inches long. In other words....perfect! You did have to get one shot, but you did a great job. You cried just for a second and then stopped. Dr. Tran said she wanted to get your blood drawn, so when we left there we went to the lab and had it done. I figured we might as well get it done today since you've already been poked. I think I was more scared than you were. The lady that took your blood was really good. You sat in my lap and I held you real tight. Then came the needle..."No, NO, NO" you told her. You were sooooo brave. She stuck you with the needle and you cried the whole time she was taking your blood. When she finished and took the needle out though, you stopped, looked and her and said, "All done?" It was classic Kendyl:) We both laughed at you, I gave you a big kiss and she gave you, not 1, not 2, but 3 stickers to take home. You fell asleep on the way home, and are now taking a very well deserved nap. Thanks for being such a big girl today. I was sooo proud of you. I love you very much.
This is a picture of how cute you started off the day :

Here you are running/playing in your diaper @ the Dr. office

This was right after we got in the car after having your blood drawn... you definitely deserved the passy.

Here's your war wounded arm :(
