Shots and a Check-up

Cori had her 18 month check up today and Adam and i went with her. I made Adam come because i knew she was getting shots today and i had to hold her the last two times for them, so it was his turn this time. And it isn't fun to hold Cori while she gets her shots. She cries GREAT BIG tears and it breaks your heart. I am sure that it isn't a picnic for her either.

She weighs 23 pounds, and is 30 inches tall. She had moved from the 25th percentile to the 30th! Whoo hoo! Now i guess i get to brag a little... the doctor told us that Cori is off the charts developmentally. She knows about 100 words now, can use a fork and spoon, knows her body parts and animal sounds and is quite the little chatterbox. She can stack about 6 blocks at a time, walk backwards, read books to herself (well, Cori's version of reading) and run. She is also using sentences from time to time. Two nights ago, she told Adam and i that she needed a snack. "Umm, i need a snack". We made her repeat it just to be sure.

So now that i have bragged shamelessly about my smart kid, i hope that she never feels like i am pressuring her. I just want her to be the healthy, happy kid she is now for a long long time.
