While we are back in the States, I thought I would take advantage of the time and have LG checked out by a pediatrician. We went to a doctor that my friend recommended, and I loved her! I loved her so much that we are transferring LG's records to her for the next time we are in town.
Grandma N came with LG and me, which was a big help because the doctor let Grandma hold LG on her lap the whole exam! This allowed me to ask all my questions, take notes, and fill in forms easily, and it wasn't so cold and impersonal like her original pediatrician, where she had to stay in her diaper on an exam table the whole time.
You will be happy to know that LG has all the correct vaccinations plus one! She is 16 lbs. 1oz. She is still 2 feet. She is allergic to peaches. :( Her umbilical hernia is still there, but there is no cause for concern until she is 2 years old. The fact that she pops her jaw and scratches her ear is normal. She is now in the 20th percentile on the growth charts, but the doctor said that she is just settling down into her ideal size. When she was born, she was just "well baked." :)
After the doctor's visit, Grandma N, LG, and I did some much needed shopping, and we stopped in at the Starbuck's in Target. LG had a blast being silly with her grandma and playing with Grandma's iced frappachino.
While at Target, we bought LG her first swimsuit and some swim diapers so that she could swim in the pool at Grandma's hotel. She loved it! We swam around for about 30 minutes, and then LG fell asleep on Grandma's bed for three hours! She was all tuckered out. :)
