Doctor's appointment

We finally went to the doctor's office for something other than an ear infection! Today was Kayleigh's one year check up. She started to cry as soon as we were brought back into the office. She was weighed--23 pounds, and measured--26 inches. She is in the 75th percentile for weight, but 25th percentile for height. On the plus side, she's moving down in the percentiles for weight, but she's still short.
Kayleigh got two shots today. Two nurses came in and tag teamed her, which I think was better. Each nurse took a leg and they jammed the needles in at the same time. I did NOT watch!
Kayleigh will have her last birthday party on Sunday with the Eikeland family. On Tuesday she goes to the allergist, and hopefully he'll give us some kind of answer to why she's either stuffy or has a runny nose all the time. Our pediatrician said that he wasn't sure how much information we would get. He said that the allergist might be able to give us an idea as to what is making her sick, but since her immune system is still developing, he might not do a complete work up until after she turns 2. We would be happy with some idea as to what to do to make her feel better!

For Kayleigh's sake, I hope she grows a lot so she doesn't have to get all of her pants hemmed like some people I know...
