Avery's 2 Year Check-Up

Avery had her 2 year check-up on Wednesday. She handled the appointment very well, but she was a bit suspicious the entire time. She stood on the big girl scale by herself, let the nurse listen to her heart, measure how tall she was and measure the size of her head. Avery talked to her pediatrician and let the doctor check her out from head to toe without any problems. Then the nurse came back with her 'basket' of shots, band-aids and alcohol wipes. That is when Avery knew something was up. First she was given the flu vaccine- not the shot but the nasal mist. This took a lot of practice with the nurse and me demonstrating how to sniff in. We must have looked really strange because Avery just sat staring at us with a blank face and continued to blow out like blowing her nose instead. Eventually, the nurse was able to administer this flu mist. Then came the shot; only one luckily. Boy did she scream though. It was over in an instant but she suspected the entire time that it was coming. She was all smiles when she got to pick a sucker and sticker from the basket though.

Avery's stats at 2 years and 2 weeks old:
height: 36" (92 percentile)
weight: 25.6 lbs (20 %)
head circumference: 19" (65%)

Her next check up isn't until 3 years old. She needs to have her follow up appointment soon for her kidneys with the urologist though.
