Our growing girl!

Kaydence had her well child check today. She often got this confused and called it her wheel chair check. I had to explain to her that she needed to go to the doctor when she had her birthday every year to make sure she was healthy. She was a whole 39 lbs and 41 1/2 inches tall. This was her first year getting to do the eye test. For the younger kids the have the eye chart with the symbols and pictures. When the nurse asked her what this sign was + she said the Ambulance. The nurse was very suprised she had never heard that one before. Then she was so excited for the doctor to finally come in to see her. He told her how big she was and that he remembered when she was just a little baby and she said ya mama wants another baby. I just laughed at her she doesn't keep anything private sometimes. She was able to get her flu vaccine through a nasal mist. Ya no shots! She thought that was great, and I was very happy to get one as well. The only down fall of her appointment is that the doctor said she has a Still Heart Murmur, which worried me. The doctor explained that it is very normal and he was not worried about it. He also said it was very common at this age. After doing my own research I realized that it was very normal and common, which helped ease my fears. All in all she is healthy and happy and very active little girl.

Wheel chair check up? That girl is hilarious! Glad to know she is growing well, she always seems perfectly happy and healthy to me. Thats good to know they start checking their eyes at four, I worry about Sadie having eye problems because I am blind as a bat!
