5 year check up

Madison had her 5 year check up today at the DR. She started out feeling very comfortable but after being there a while Madison got scared and wanted me to hold her. The Dr's office did a hearing & eye test which didn't go so well. I don't believe she has any issues in those areas, she just didn't understand what they were saying to her and what they were asking her to do. It was a reminder to me we still have a long way to go. Her English is getting so good that most people think that she understands what they are telling her.

We were also told that Madison has gained 5 pounds! She is now in the 16% in her weight:) She is still really small for her age but the Dr. was pleased with the 5 pounds gained.

The picture above was when they first called us back, like usual she walked in like she owned the place:) and then 45 minutes, 2 shots, and a flu mist later this is what she looked like:(

Bless her heart, on the way home she said "mommy you not tell me you gonna take me back to the Dr." Ha. She is still not speaking in complete sentences but like everything else it will take time.

She recovered much more quickly this time after having shots. Within 30 minutes she was

playing and having fun in the pool with McKinley. 

Happy Wednesday!
