Disco party at the doctor's office

I took Charlie Jo Jo in for her 15-month well-baby appointment this morning and she obviously thought she was there to put on a dance exhibition for the nurse and the doctor. She showed off darn near all her tricks and danced up a storm on the exam table. She didn't flinch during the anemia test but the shots in her legs elicited some very bitter crying. She recovered fast though.

CJ now weighs 22 pounds (the 25th - 50th percentile) and measures 31 inches (the 75th percentile). She has consistently been in those percentiles at virtually all of her checkups. Boy, I sure wish I was in the 75th percentile for height and the 25th-50th for weight. I think I'm the opposite.

Other than recommending we start the vegetable-hater on a multi-vitamin, Dr. Hood had nothing but great things to say about CJ's overall health. We're going to try to cut down to one nap per day since CJ has been still so darn wide awake at 8:00 pm when we try to put her down each night, and we're going to try to sneak veggies and meat into every darn thing that kid actually WILL eat. Cross your fingers...

I'm just a DANCE machine!



Please please please stop licking the exam table, you nutburger.



Downward-facing dog!



Who IS that beautiful baby in the mirror?

She was being a nut last night when we tried to put her in bed, and she's being a nut this morning - she's on a roll!

Cousin Erin, I thought the same thing about the table licking picture-- she looks like Spidey!!!

Dance party at the doctor's office sounds awesome.... I should try that at my 6 week OB/Gyn appointment!

Aw, we love that little nutburger! Licking the table -- NICE! Great practice for when CJ and Zozo start their all girl punk band. . . yeeeaaah. :)

When they start that band, can you please keep them away from the edge of the stage? These pix freak me out.
