Ava's 4 year check up

Ava was a very brave girl today at her 4 year check up.  We have been mentally preparing her for the appointment for a few days because we knew she was getting shots (4 shots!).   We told her that she would be getting poked but that everyone, mommy, daddy, Brynny and even Biscuit and Magnum have to get shots to stay healthy and protect us from getting really sick.  We promised her that after her appointment we would take her to the store and let her pick out any toy she wanted (this was actually the pediatrician's suggestion and it worked).  So she wasn't scared at all!  She also got a hearing and vision test which she passed with flying colors.

We got to the appointment and the nurse asked her if she wanted her flu vaccine as a nasal mist or a shot and she said "I don't like it in my nose, I want a shot"  We opted for the mist and she did fine with that.  Before the nurse came in with the shots Ava told us "I'm gonna be brave"

Of course she was very upset and milked it for all it was worth afterwards, but we are very proud of her and how she handled everything.

Here are her stats:

Height:  3'5.38" (41.5 inches)   79th percentile
Weight: 34 lbs  38th percentile
BP  88/50

very healthy girl! 

A funny I have to share:

When Gigi and Papi were here last weekend, Papi was reading with her and asking her to identify her letters.  He told a story about how she needed to tell him what the letter was so the mean witch would let him out of the castle.  She came to me and said "mommy are any mean witches gonna come to our house?"  I said no of course, and she said "then why is Papi a Lion?"

Then one night she informed Steve that boys have stinky hiney's and girls hiney's smell pretty.  ????

Brynn's Baptism

Brynn was baptized this morning during church service. She didn't even cry when Dr. Pace took her from me and baptized her. She was good until he put water on her head and then her little bottom lip stuck out and the whimpering began. She was too precious.

Big girls

Brynn refuses to sit in a high chair or booster seat now. She insists on sitting in a regular chair. Ava insisted on making her bed before leaving the house this morning. She informed me that it is her job.
