Five Year check up

So yesterday, Miss E had her 5 year physical.  My girl has grown!!  She is 43 inches tall and weighs 48 lbs.  I've noticed over the past several months that she has been getting longer and longer legs!  She used to always be kind of a peanut, on the lower end of the percentiles for her age/size.  Now she is in the 63rd percentile for her height!  She passed everything (hearing, vision, etc) with flying colors :)   
Elizabeth was not happy to be getting shots, and was pretty anxious about it.  Afterward, through her tears she sniffled, "Mommy, do you love me?"  I guess since it was I who had subjected her to this torture (and had to hold her hands down while they were giving the shots), she had to question whether I really did have her best interests at heart.  Poor baby...:(   Yes, sweetheart, Mommy loves you.  Always and forever....

Micellaneous stuff

The above picture was from last month when we went camping in NH one weekend. Of course, I forgot to take my camera, but my friend who's camp we went to took this one. Gotta love s'mores!!

It feels like summer is going by at warped speed, as it always does. We have been busy working (me), playing (Elizabeth), and enjoying the pool and playing outside in the evenings.

Elizabeth went to her very first eye doctor appointment last week. I took her because a vision screening done at her Day Care showed she might be near sighted. But it turns out her vision is perfect. So no glasses, at least for now! Next up, the Dentist...

I guess that's all for now. Only 5 more work days til vacation! Yay!!!

Phew!!

So, we went to the Cardiologist yesterday, and the news was great! Elizabeth does have a Heart Murmur, but it's nothing that will have any impact on her. It's called an Innocent Heart Murmur, which is very common in kids, and is totally harmless. There are no restrictions on E's activities, or any follow up to be done about it. Yay!!
On a side note, E was absolutely adorable at the Dr's office. Once she was assured that she would be getting NO SHOTS, she was her sweet, funny, cheerful self...At one point, she commented to me, "This Doctor is nice, it seems!" Funny girl :)

4 year check up

So, Miss E had her 4 year check up last Thursday. She is growing like a weed, and is in the 45th-50th percentile for both weight and height. She also had to get a lead level test, and a couple of shots for Day Care, which my girl was none too happy about. But all in all the appt was going fine, no surprises, until...The doctor mentioned that she was making a referral for E to a Cardiologist. Huh??? Turns out that when the dr was checking E's heart, she detected a slight murmur. She says it is fairly common, and since E is growing and very healthy, she is not too concerned. But she wants her to to be looked at by a Cardiologist, just to be sure. Yikes, that was scary...I know it's probably not a big deal, but I defy you to have your child referred to a Cardiologist and not have at least a minor freak out!! Anyway, E's appt with the cardiologist is tomorrow afternoon...I will update after that.
