Last week we took E to meet his new doctor and see how he's measuring up. All 4 of us made the trip, which was crazy with a 12 week-old and a 2 year-old. Thank goodness there are even numbers of adults and children, because we both had our hands full, between filling out new insurance forms, H fussing/eating/sleeping and E tearing everything off the shelves and out of the drawer in the exam room (why they're not baby-proofed, we have no idea). He threw a fit when the nurse tried to measure his head, but didn't shed a single tear when she pricked his finger for blood-work. He wouldn't open his mouth for the doc to see his teeth, but was and angel while she listened to his heart. He didn't want to be weighted or measured, but loved the sticker they gave him. Overall, the doc said he's a "typical" toddler and looks great. He's tall and thin just like his parents. She was also very impressed by his verbal skills. The greatest concern that we addressed were his food allergies (which are still all dairy and nuts). We plan to start a relationship with a local allergist, but aren't too concerned at this point because we're able to manage them well on our own. In fact, he's now drinking soy milk instead of rice milk. He was given a seasonal flu shot, but isn't required to receive any other vaccinations until he's 4. I don't think we see the doc again until he's 3 for a well-check. Our next big adventure will be another haircut, but I'm going to try this time. Don't worry, we'll post pics.
