Abby's 5 year well baby check

Can I still call it a well baby check when she’s 5 years old? I should have taken her to her well baby check in August (ya know when she actually turned 5) but I just kept forgetting about it. Anyway, it went great. She did have to get her finger pricked and 2 shots. I knew about the finger prick, since she’s borderline anemic she always has to get her iron checked but I had told her that she wasn’t going to have to get any shots. The nurse told me that they make liars out of parents all the time. My poor baby, she was so upset and she has 2 pretty nasty bruises on her little thighs today. Nothing that a little bit of ice cream from the Opryland Hotel couldn’t make better though. She weighs 35 pounds (14th percentile) and is 41 inches tall (17th percentile). She’s healthy, happy and striving. I couldn’t ask for more.

Wow 35 pounds, Tyler weighs 35 pounds too at 4.5. But I have to mention that Jackson also weighs 35 pounds and has for the last few months and he's 2.5. I think I like the little guys better-makes carrying them after the shots a little easier! Glad that she's a healthy "little" girl.
