A Quick Dr Visit

Brooke had a checkup today at the doctor

Height: 34 3/4 inches
Weight: 30 lbs 12 oz

Essentially, everything is fine ... she just had to get shots. Three of them :( Its bad enough to get one, but after that you know whats coming. So number two and three were especially brutal. She still isnt impressed by band-aids, so that trick doesnt work. Currently she does have a fascination with "boo-boo's", so that helped a lot. Right after the shot she looked down at her leg (while crying) and started talking about boo-boos. She also tried pulling her pant legs up to her thighs during the car ride home to look at the boo-boo's again ;)

As for her health/growth, the doctor said to bring her down to 2% milk (instead of waiting till 2 years) and keep an eye on what she eats. She doesnt need (and shouldnt have) junk. I'm hoping chicken nuggets and mac & cheese dont count as junk! He also said we can give her a multi-vitamin since she doesnt eat veggies (Daddy says she gets that from Uncle Brad) ... but, of course, to continue to try to get her to eat veggies on a regular basis. Right now she is eating spinach and ricotta tortellini, which is better than nothing!
