A few weeks ago, I was working on all the preparations for the start of Rachel's school year and called the doctor's office about her vaccinations. Come to find out she was due one immunization and a well checkup. She and I headed out yesterday morning for her 8:30 am checkup.
We knew Rachel was getting taller over the past few months but now we have the official measurements.
Weight: 36 pounds
Height: 43 and 1/2 inches tall
She did great with all the vital signs including "the arm hug."
She did great with her vision and hearing checkups. In fact, I teased her after the hearing checkup that she did so well that when I call her from downstairs she can't tell me she can't hear me from her room anymore!
Dr. Ellis even let her hear her own heartbeat. She thought that was really neat!
She did get a little nervous just before time to get her chicken pox vaccination. But she did great when the time came and got a blue popsicle (her favorite color) from the nurse as a reward!
We are thankful for an overall great checkup! Can't believe 5 and 1/2 years have flown by so quickly! We love you Rachel!
