I took Samantha for her 5 year check up yesterday and she continued her streak of really not liking going to her yearly checkups! This time she knew she had her 5 year shots coming and that was causing a lot of stress for her. I kept encouraging her and loving on her and we got through it – but not without some crying and screaming during the shots. Overall, she did just fine and we got a great report from Dr. Walley!
She is 43 inches tall and weights 44.2 lbs. At her last checkup she was 41 inches tall and 40.6 lbs. They’ve redone the charts and this puts her at 58th% in height and 75th% in weight.
Spencer at 5 was 43 and 1/4 inches tall and 43.6 lbs.
Maxwell at 5 was 42 and 3/4 inches tall and 36 lbs.
Samantha had no smiles for anyone and very little to say to both the nurse and Dr. Walley!
They also gave her a paper dress which she wanted nothing to do with!
This was right before shots – look at that face! ha!
She survived the shots, got over it quickly, and was happy with her reward of an Icee and a new Polly Pocket!
I sure do love my strong-willed, healthy, growing girl!!
We love our Samantha!
It’s great to get a good checkup! Go Samantha!
