***WARNING: This is a very long post!***
Haylee FINALLY had her 2 year well baby doctor appointment. It was only a month and few days late! LOL. I had to reschedule that appointment so many times (due to school and the fact that we don't get our schedules until the last minute) and then last Friday she was supposed to have it and her doctor called in sick so they rescheduled it to this Friday. Luckily I only have school Monday - Thursday and not every day or we would have been in trouble!
waiting for the doctor to come in
I had a few questions to ask the doctor and over all the appointment went really well. Oh, this was also my VERY first appointment of taking her by myself, usually Dave goes too (and I make him hold her down for shots) so I was a little nervous. The doctor answered all of my questions first and then checked her out and said she looks really great and healthy!
Her stats:
Weight - 24 lbs. - almost 25th percentile
Height - 32 inches - 5 to 10 percentile
One of my questions had to do with Haylee's skin issues. A while ago the doctor said she had
eczema but I wasn't convinced because it didn't look as bad as I've seen on other kids, and it didn't bother her at all. But lately she's been getting these really red patches behind her knees and as soon as the doctor saw that she said it definitely is eczema. So she told me to get this hydrocortizone cream again and also get a heavy lotion & apply it twice a day. I got some Cortizone 10 lotion for eczema, it is the ointment and lotion in one, so I'm hoping that helps! At the end she got two shots, her first Hep A and her last Pc. She did SO good getting them! I was worried for nothing. She didn't flinch at all after the 1st one and then started whining after the 2nd one but I showed her the Princess band aid she got right away and she totally stopped whining. She never shed one tear and I was so proud of her! She was just so happy about her new pretty band aid! LOL
The doctor mentioned how long Haylee's hair has gotten and how pretty it is =) She also asked how she is talking and said "is she putting 2 word sentences together" and I mentioned how she puts several words together. I've always been pretty pleased and impressed with the way she talks. Haylee also eats REALLY well. She will always at least try something for us if we ask her to. And she likes broccoli most for her veggies. She also eats a lot of other foods. I've definitely never had much problem with the way she eats. She knows her ABC's pretty good (a few in the middle kind of run together) but I'm surprised she knows them so well. She sings an ABC song that is on a CD and lately she's been trying to sing along to other songs that is on the same CD. It's so cute to hear her. She is the sweetest and most well mannered little girl I know. She ALWAYS says "thank you" and "your welcome". She sometimes says "please" (working on that one) and she'll say "excuse me" or "bless you". She has pooped on the potty twice now and peed once. I'm not starting to potty train yet, we decided to wait until after the holidays to start. She loves to dance and watch movies. Her new favorite movie is The Little Mermaid. She still sleeps in her crib and through the night (although sometimes we hear her awake and laughing in the middle of the night!). I do not plan on taking her out of her crib for a LONG time! LOL. She is in mostly 24 month clothes, and in some 18 month still. She is going to be very tiny as you can tell by her stats. She's wearing a size 5, 5.5 shoe. She loves to play with all her baby dolls she got for her birthday and pushes them around in the stroller (with her purses and bags hanging on the handles!). She also loves to play with her kitchen dishes and food and will bring us something to eat. She's getting into dressing up too, and likes to wear her her new clothes and shoes. She has been getting a little bit of an attitude and independence. We are expecting this to happen but she does listen pretty well when reprimanded and often does as we ask.
We are so blessed and lucky to have Haylee in our lives. She is such a sweet little girl who loves to give hugs and kisses and loves her family. She's so wonderful and a blessing =)
