Shots and Such . . . Hazel is 18 months old.

We had Hazel's 18 month check up today. She's growing great. She's in the 70% for height - 32.5" and 40% for weight - 23 lbs. 9 oz. Her language skills are excellent and she's developmental skills are all good.

Bryan and I talked about whether to get the flu and H1N1 vaccines for the kids and decided we'd do what the doctor recommended. She said it's a good idea so we went ahead with them. Poor kid had to get 4 shots :( She was a trooper and only cried for a little bit. Clara on the other hand was completely ridiculous. She's always been great at the doctors, in fact she likes going and getting check-ups, really likes it. She's never been super bothered by the shots either. Well not today. She found out she was getting one and was hiding in the corner saying she didn't want any. She only got one and the other was a nasal spray. She freaked out about the nasal spray as much as the shot. I had to really hold her down and I felt horrible about it. Hopefully, it was worth it.
