Check-up

Yesterday, Sarah Graves had her 15 month check-up. Her doctor said that she looks great! Here are her stats: weight is 23.6 pounds (34th percentile), height is 32 1/2 inches (88th percentile), and head circumference is 18 inches (13th percentile). The pediatrician really looks to see that she is following a trend in her growth and she seems to be. she is really growing taller and thinning out.
I asked about her not wanting to drink milk from a cup and the doctor feels like if she gets a nursing a day, she gets the milk she needs. Veggies, yogurt, and cheese also give her the calcium she needs for growth. She doesn't think there is a need to give her a vitamin supplement, but wants us to continue giving her vitamin D. SG loves her vitamin D drop, so that is not a problem.
I also asked about SG getting car sick now and then. She agreed that is likely all it is and babies do get car sick. She recommended benodryl for trips where we might expect her to get sick, but said there isn't much to do for the daily driving.
The appointment ended with SG getting two shots, pnemococcal and HiB. She cried for just a second, mostly because we were making her lay down!
She loves to look at the neat books in the exam room.
