15 Month Well Check

Yesterday we took Izabel to see Dr. Scott for her 15 month appointment. Noah is working a route this week so he was able to get off early enough to come with us which was nice. I was nervous because the last couple of times we went to the doctor Izabel has screamed practically the whole time and it is really draining but yesterday she was basically perfect. She played in the waiting room and probably could have stayed occupied there for quite a while but they called us right back. She weighs 20 lbs 8 oz and is 30 and 5/8 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for her height but has dropped to the 20th for her weight. She is still very little for her age but Dr. Scott wasn't concerned since she was so sick last month and she is so active. He was very impressed with her language skills and how well she is moving around. She babbled the whole time we were in there. She can point out body parts and she has almost 12 teeth. She has been completely off the bottle for a while now which he was happy to hear and he is completely satisfied and impressed with her progress. We talked about the upcoming arrival of Tanner for a while and Dr. Scott was happy to hear that so far everything is going well. We will probably do Izabel's 18 month appointment closer to 19 months since Tanner will be born right around the 18 month point but Dr. Scott will be by to visit us in the hospital and then we can bring Tanner and Izabel to see him together until Tanner starts moving around. Izabel got 4 shots which she of course was not happy about but after a few minutes of love she was fine.

We got home and had a great dinner and played and then put Izabel to bed. We decided to try going without the pacifiers. We had talked about it before but with Tanner coming so soon I didn't want to take them away just to pull them out again for him and her want them back. We went to sleep fine and made it through the night so we'll see what happens tonight. I think nap time will be harder to deal with but hopefully if we stick to it she'll get right back into her good sleeping habits and maybe sleep better. I'll be sure to keep you updated!
