Hadley had her 15-month doctors appointment this morning. Here are her stats from the appt:

Height: 31″ (75th percentile)
Weight: 23 lbs 2 oz (58th percentile)
Head: 46.5 cm (75th percentile)

Hadley has slowed quite a bit on her weight gain. Not enough to cause concern, but enough that the nurse had me take her back to the scale to weigh her again to make sure we didn’t record the wrong number. But she is still gaining so we don’t need to worry. The doctor said she is most likely just really active. You can say that again! I am constantly chasing her around this place. I shudder to think about what it will be like when she can actual walk!

The doctor and I talked quite a bit about her broken leg and he said it sounds like she is making an excellent recovery. He was pleased to hear (as I was also pleased to report) that Hadley just started talking a few steps again. He said while it’s great to encourage her and help her to walk, not to push her. She will do it when she is good and ready.

As part of his exam, the doctor asked if she knew any body parts. I said I hadn’t really been working on them with her so I didn’t think so. When he asked her about certain body parts her eyes quickly darted to them and when he mentioned “tongue” she stuck hers out for everyone to see. So despite me not teaching her the body parts, she is certainly learning them on her own! That’s one observant little girl I have. He remarked that while she isn’t saying the words yet (as she shouldn’t be), she is definitely comprehending them!

Then the nurse came back in to give Hadley her one and only shot. Hadley looked skeptical as we put her back down on the table and kind of glared at the nurse when she grabbed the needle. But the shot was over before we knew it and Hadley didn’t even fuss. She even gave the nurse a hug afterwards. I’m sure just to prove there weren’t any hard feelings. We go back in three months for her 18 month appointment. Man, how time flies!
