Once we got in the exam room, the nurse comes to weigh and measure Brianne. Then the doctor comes in to give us the results. First, the doctor asked how she was doing, then did the physical exam. By all accounts, Brianne is doing great health wise, and is growing very well. Actually, she's growing a little too well. She is off the charts in height, and measured in at 32" long (that's almost 3 feet). The doctor even said, if we lined up 100 one-year old babies, Brianne would be the tallest. To put it even more in perspective, our friends have a 3 year old who measured in at 36" at her last doctor appointment. So long story short, Brianne is very, very tall.
The doctor also asked us if she was walking yet, and we told her that she hadn't quite gotten there yet. Brianne is cruising around furniture, and even standing alone without holding on, but hasn't quite taken a step yet. The doctor says this is fine, and that she should start walking at around 15 months.
The last part of the check up included 3 shots. I had to sit Brianne up and hug her against me while they gave her the shots. She did not take them well, and screamed her head off. Poor baby, I felt so bad for her. She was fine in a few minutes, but I HATE when she has to get shots. All in all, it was a good check up, and we are glad to know that Brianne is A-OK!
Here we are in the waiting room. I remember when we had to bring Brianne in in her infant car seat. Now she sits in a chair like a big girl!
Here we are waiting for the nurse to come back to give her shots.
Brianne getting weighed in. She weighed 23 lbs, which is about 75% for weight, but is in line with her height.
