15 Months Old!!

Today Faith is 15 months old. Where has the time gone? It felt like just yesterday we were planning her 1st birthday party.

Faith had her 15 month check up at the doctor's today and got a few vaccinations and her flu shot....she was such a trooper and only cried for a short time. We got the examine room with a view....it was across the street from Memorial Hermann overlooking the LifeFlight helicopters. Faith got to watch a few helicopters land and take off while we were there. :)

Here are her stats:

Weight: 21.3# 25%
Height: 30 1/4 in 45%
Head: 18 1/4 in 60%

We had to go have blood drawn for a lead level and blood count check, which is something standard her doctor does at 15 months. Faith had never had blood drawn besides those horrible heel sticks in the hospital and when she was a few weeks old. I held Faith in my lap, while the phlebotomist drew her blood and another employee held Faith's arm still. She was trying her hardest to break free and get away while crying like crazy all at the same time. Luckily she got Faith's vein on the first try. Once Faith was released from my grasp, she calmed down and stopped crying.

Here is Faith pre-shots and blood draw; unaware of what is about to happen to her. Her arm is just a little bruised now from all of the squirming while her blood was being drawn. But we BOTH survived. ;)
