Caroline's 15-month checkup

Caroline went to the pediatrician on Tuesday for her 15-month checkup. We had a 9:00 appointment and I thought we wouldn't have to wait much and we would be out of there quickly. We actually got there a little early and there was no one in the waiting room. Wow, can you believe that? We waited and Caroline played and ran around until her name was called at 9:15. I undressed her and got her weighed and measured right after getting to her room (she weighed 19 lb. 14 oz. and was 31 in. long). Then we waited...and waited. Dr. Nikki was making rounds at the hospital and we didn't see her until 9:55. Needless to say, Caroline got restless waiting in her room. I did my best to keep her entertained. She drank lots of milk and ate Cheerios, we played Peekaboo with her blanket, and I sang to her and danced with her. She was good for Dr. Nikki, but she was ready to go. Then, it seemed like we waited forever again for the nurse to come in with her shots. Then, she screamed, of course and then we finally left at 10:35. Thank goodness this is her last set of shots until she starts school.
