Today I picked Ms. Reagan up from school early to take her to her one-year appointment. She did fine. We found out that she is ahead of most developmentally and she is still in the 91-94 percentile in her growth. Thank goodness. I also asked about "all the bumps" in her mouth and we realized that she already had tooth #5 coming through (on top). WOW! She is officially moved over to whole milk at home (no more formula) yea haa and finger foods.
After the doc's visit, the nurse came back in with needles - ick! She had to get a finger prick to test for lead and then four shots. The nurse really wasn't very good. She sucked actually. But oh well. She had a hard time getting blood to drip out of her finger (duh maybe because she held her arm up and not down-DUH). I tried to tell her but what do I know. :) The shots were horrible. Reagan was so worked up by the lead test that there was NO calming her down at all. Poor thing. I felt so bad for her. But she recovered nicely. She hung on to me until she stopped crying and then quickly looked for a toy. Yea baby girl.
We took off and went home. She was quite grumpy and clingy, but I handed her off to Jim for a while so I could mentally rest. That was a tough appointment.
Oh well - we don't have to go back for 3 more months. Whew!
