15.5 Pounds of Fun

Eleanor had her 4 month check up last night. Since daddy is hiking in the Adirondacks this week, it was up to mommy to wince and hold her chubby little hand as she got her shots. Ouch! But, it was good to check in with the doctor and hear that Eleanor is in the 90% for height (26'') and weight (15.5 lbs) for her age group! Our big girl was given a clean bill of health and even gave some juicy smiles and giggles to the doctor (before the shots).

Poor Eleanor howled for a good 10 minutes after her immunizations and when I decided that she just wasn't going to calm down, we exited our exam room and walked into the waiting room and found every seat filled, with not a few horrified-looking children staring at us. They must all have heard her screaming. Why do exam rooms have such thin walls?

After a long and exciting night full of drama, comedy and suspense, Eleanor is on the road to recovery and has only been minimally fussy this morning. Thank you Children's Tylenol.
