Lauren and Payton: 15 Months!

I can't believe that this Little Mama is already 15 months old!

Today we had her 15 month appointment, and let's just say it was a little more traumatic than any other appointment we had. Payton was having a blast in the waiting room, but I swear the moment she heard her name she knew something was up.

When we got back to the room I had to lay her on the table so they could measure her height and head circumference. The second I laid her down she FREAKED out and started crying harder than ever. Then we went out to the scale to weigh her and she LOST it. Even when the nurse took her temperature (which consisted of rolling the thermometer across her forehead) she freaked out even more. I felt terrible.

We get back in the room and waited for her doctor to come in. I got her settled down, but then the second the doctor walked in Payton started crying again. Her doctor hadn't even touched her yet. Now I can't say I'm super shocked at her freaking out at the doctors, because if anyone knows me they know I freak out at the doctors. (Just like a couple weeks ago I went to go get my stitches taken out and pretty sure I freaked myself out over that).

Even though it was a traumatic appointment, it was nice to know my little girl is healthy! She weighs 22 pounds 14 ounces (50th percentile), 31 inches long (75th percentile) and head circumference is 19 inches (95th percentile....true Wilson baby).

She had to get four shots today. Which almost made me cry. I'm terrified of needles, but normally I can hold myself together pretty well while Payton gets shots. Today was a little different. It's like she was more aware of what was happening, and I could feel her little body tense up and cling to my shoulders as she was getting her shots. Of course her crying got a lot harder as well, which didn't make it easy for me told hold it together, but I did.

What kills me is the second the shots were done and the nurse was walking away, Payton was TOTALLY fine. She acted like nothing had just happened.
