Ana had her five-year doctors appointment yesterday. Here are her stats from the appt:

Height: 43 3/4″ (80th percentile)
Weight: 41.4 lbs (60th percentile)
BMI: 15.2 (55th percentile)
Blood Pressure: 98/62

The nurse also asked for a urine sample and did a finger prick to test for anemia, both of which came back fine. Ana was very excited that she didn’t need any immunizations this time, but was a little bit bummed to find out she still needed a flu shot. She was more bothered by the finger prick (and the amount of blood that kept leaking out after they collected their sample) than the flu shot.

Upon seeing the doctor he commented that she just keeps getting taller and taller (from 65th percentile at 3 years, to 75th at 4, and now at 80th). I said that if the size of her feet were any indication, I could only imagine! That girl has some seriously huge feet (I can sympathize since she gets it from me. Sorry, Ana!). Along with all the routine check up items, they also checked Ana’s vision and hearing. I could see the excitement on her face each time she got the answers correct and then ultimately knowing she rocked both tests. They didn’t give me the official results, but she did perfectly.

Everything else at the appointment went great. Ana was chatting with the doctor during the entire visit and by the time he was leaving he looked over at me and said, “Wow. She must really keep you on your toes.” Boy does she ever! Until next year…
