2 Year Well-Check

Miss Vivian had her 2 year appointment on Monday and she did awesome.  I've delayed her chicken pox vaccine until she started school this fall, but went ahead and did it so we wouldn't have to make another trip for her. Not going to lie, I was nervous about her getting a shot.  Not because its a vaccine, but how she acts when she gets a tiny scrap or bug bite.  She's a little over dramatic.  I thought for sure she was going to make a big deal out of it.  She definitely proved me wrong!

When the nurse came in, we got her head circumference, height and weight.  Her head measured at 44 centimeters, she's 33 inches tall and weighs 22.5 lbs.  Just a tiny peanut!  After getting her measurements, she had to get her finger pricked...didn't know that was going to happen.  Child didn't even flinch or cry.  The nurse was so impressed!  As was my Mom and I.  

Dr. Jackson came in and said Vivian was doing great.  She's still growing on the chart, just on the petite side.  She's in the 21st percentile for heighth and 16th percentile for weight.  The weight percentile was based of the infant scale, on the toddler scale she's 5th percentile.  He wasn't concerned, nor am I.  The kid can put away some food!  He did say for her to continue with whole milk.

After Dr. Jackson stepped out, the nurse came back for her shot.  My Mom held her arms since I was wearing JoJo. The nurse told her to hold her arms tight because she would probably try to reach for the shot.  The nurse gave her the shot and Vivian just laid there.  Didn't move an inch!  We were all so impressed with her!  I was nervous over nothing.

After her appointment, we took her to Learning Express for a 'happy' since she did an AWESOME job!  She got some Melissa & Doug mermaid reusable stickers and a water paint travel pad.  The pad pages are hard, reusable and mess free. Perfect for a toddler!

I was so proud of my big girl.  We have Joanna's 2 month appointment in a couple of weeks and I can guarantee you there will be tears.
