15 Month Check Up

Adelyn went in for her check up yesterday, which is always a highlight for me. There is something about the Dr. confirming your child is growing that gives great reassurance. She was cautious around the dr. and asked her 'all done?' when she was listening to her heart. She wouldn't let the doc get a good peak at her upper teeth, but overall was a good sport. As of now Adelyn has 3 of the 4 top teeth so I wanted to ensure that's normal. From what the Dr could see there is a tooth in there waiting to break through--no need to call the dentist in yet. Other teeth as of now include the matching bottom 4 and 4 molars. Maybe the 4th top will be the next to join the pack. She got 2 shots and a voluntary finger poke (voluntary by me of course, not her) to check lead levels given the current toy recalls. We've been trying to keep up on the recalls and her 9 month lead levels were fine but why not be cautious right? She seems to be handling the shots fine. We left last night on a road trip to Sioux Falls to visit Stacy and Nick. Aside from being a little tired she has been her usual goofy self. Last night marked the first full week of no nursing, which has been strange for both of us I think. Jon has been handling bedtime and I have been defaulting to a car ride for nap times. She got a new sippy cup with a straw which has been a great distraction. Hard to believe our little girl is growing up!
The stats:
Height ~ 32.5 inches = 95th percentile (which explains why half of her shirts are belly shirts)
Weight ~ 24 lbs = 60h percentile
Head ~ 80th percentile
Also, a few words Jon reminded me I forgot Adelyn says: Elmo - used for both the character and lawnmower and fish.
