1 year old doctor appointment


Kyla had her 12 month appointment today. It turned out to be her most tramatic appointment so far. She was in daycare during the day and decided not to take a nap. She thought it was fun that other kids were in the same room trying to nap and did her best to keep them all up too. She had the 1 year olds jumping in their cribs and the babies crying. As soon as she was taken out of the room everyone crashed. So, going into the appointment I knew it would not be fun for her. Kyla has some sort of an infection and as a result has a very swollen lymph node on the back of her head. The Doctor and I did are best to try to make Kyla hold still while she listened to her heart, looked at her ears, eyes... But when it came to getting a better look at her ear to check for an ear infection an additional nurse had to be called in to restrain her. Kyla was soooooo mad and cried harder then I have ever heard her cry. After this it was time for 2 shots and a hemoglobin test where they prick her foot.

As far as her height and weight, she continues to be tall and skinny. Her height was 29 3/4 inches which put her in the 80th percentile. Her weight was 19 pounds and 9 ounces, which is the 30th percentile.

Kyla has just gone to bed for the night and I have a feeling she will have a very good night of sleep after her awful day at her Doctor Appointment.
