Well, there's not much to report that's new here (no real changes since we self measured her in June!). Natalie had her 3 year checkup last Thursday and she is 38" tall and weighs 32 lbs. This puts her in the 55th percentile for weight and 60th percentile for height. She is 5% higher in height, which is the first time in her life that has ever been the case! It was usually the reverse- slightly higher percentile for weight than height.
She also had to have blood taken for the 3-year-old lead test. In Massachusetts, kids have to be tested at 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years for lead. I'm assuming she passed because no one called us on Monday! Dr. Meisheid and I also discussed her potential peanut allergy... so they took a little extra blood and tested that. Well, they called on Friday and told us she is NOT allergic to peanuts! Hooray! What a huge relief!
Natalie only cried during the blood work and was very good when Dr. Meisheid was poking and prodding her (despite being uncomfortable that she was only in her undies and socks!). So after the appointment, I took her to Dairy Queen for some celebratory chocolate ice cream!
