15 month checkup...

Alex went in for her 15 month doctor visit Friday and all is well. 32.5", 22lbs 14oz... and tracking steady on all the measurables. She is doing all of the things that she should be, and then some. She is a superstar.

In the past Alex has been cautiously friendly to Dr. Youssef. She is a very nice lady and Alex has been nice if not warm. This time was a little different. As soon as the doc walk in the room, Alex flipped. Screaming, crying, spitting, snob bubbly mess. The whole time. And this is before the shots! It was brutal.

The doc said that this is pretty standard for her age. She said, "She''ll hate me this visit, and the next one, but then she'll love me again." Let's hope so.

On the positive side, we did discover that animal crackers are the perfect tonic for the pain and shock of shots. Take two and call me in the morning.

She doesn't look like she is capable of the behavior you're describing in this sweet little picture :)
