Scarlett was about a month late getting her 15 month check up because of our trip to Washington (I think Liam might have even beat her to it!). She saw Dr. Glandon this time. We hadn't seen her before, but we liked her a lot. She was pretty laid back and has a child right around the same age as Scarlett. Scarlett's stats were around 31 1/2 inches long and about 22 pounds. She also had some shots and did pretty well with them -- just a little bit of crying on the second set. She got her customary fever afterwards but she might have already had a cold. She'd had a runny nose for a few days before, so it is always hard to tell if her symptoms are shots, teething, or a cold. The doctor asked the usual barrage of questions and I think we "passed" all of them. The questionable answers were around how much milk she is drinking each day (she might be drinking too much at night and we aren't supposed to let her have any after we brush her teeth) and going to the dentist. She is doing very well with her vocabulary and mobility though. They were supposed to check her iron levels again but forgot and since she'll be back for her 18 month visit soon, we figure we'll just keep giving her the iron supplements until we go back.

The doc also had a few surprised looks. She asked if Scarlett was talking, and I said "yes about 60 words". Puzzled, she said "wow, really?" I then mentioned Shonna writes every word down, and Shonna pointed out the number was actually closer to 70. I am paraphrasing because we are (I am) a little tardy writing this but that's basically how it went. Anyway, after the dr visit we drove Scarlett to daycare . We will detail the words in the next blog immediately following this one.
