This morning we had a routine doctor's checkup and shot appointment. One of the only negative things I can think of about being a baby is the amount of shots you have to endure your first year of life. Today we had the normal round of 4 vaccinations PLUS a flu shot. So basically 3 shots in one leg and 2 in the other. OUCH! But as usual, Mary Lindsey was trooper. She only cried a little when the actual shots were being injected, and then a few seconds later it was as if she forgot what had happened. In fact, you can see by one of the pictures I posted that the nurse handed me a piece of paper explaining her vaccinations right after she had finished, and ML immediately took it out of my hands and started playing with it. You can see her pretty purple bandaid on her leg. She had a shiny silver bandaid on the other! I also posted a picture of our pediatrician, Dr. Charles. I know he looks like a shaggy kind of guy, but he has a wonderful bedside manner with Mary Lindsey and is extremely knowledgeable. He and his wife have 3 daughters, so he knows a thing or two about little girls. The other picture is of ML looking at herself in the mirror. She had a blast talking to herself while we were waiting on Dr. Charles.
So the stats from today are as follows: Mary Lindsey now weighs 17 lbs. 12 oz., so she gained 2 lbs. exactly in the past two months. She is now in the 60th percentile for weight. She is 27" in length, so she grew 1/2 and inch in the past two months. So she is now in the 70th percentile for height. He said everything about her looks perfect...praise the Lord! We have a happy and healthy baby girl. Thank you Lord for the blessing of a healthy child and we continue to call out to you to protect her and allow her to grow into a young lady who would follow close after you her whole life!
