Day 315: Well Baby Check-up

Cutie patootie mugging for the camera as we get ready to take the dog for a walk.

While she won't officially be 15 months until Tuesday (!!!), we had Michal's 15 month well baby check up today.  If I haven't said it before, I'll say it here - we LOVE her doctor.  She is super nice and is always happy to answer any of our questions.  Oh, and she regularly tells us that Michal is perfect.  How can we argue with that?  But on a serious note, she lets us know when we need to worry.  For example, when we mentioned that Michal isn't walking yet, she said she preferred for babies to be walking by 15 months but did not seem overly concerned, especially when we said that we thought that she COULD walk and just hadn't decided to do so yet. In other words, we're not concerned that there is an underlying reason for her not being ABLE to walk. She's just a content, laid back kid who hasn't decided that she NEEDS to walk.  Not like how she NEEDS to climb everything in sight.  She even tried to climb out of the bath tub last night.  Holy moly.

Michal of course performed all of her tricks, showing off for Dr. H with all her words, even raising her arms for "touchdown!"  Four shots today - 3 vaccines and her flu shot.  While she cried a bit and was generally unhappy at being poked, she managed to wave "Bye!" and blow a kiss to the nurse as she left the room.  What an awesome kid.
