Kesenia's 2 year checkup

Height: 33.75" (50th percentile)
Weight: 26.5 lbs (50th percentile)

Kes checked out great. I asked Dr. Kerr about the heartbeat, and she said it's normal to be able to see her heartbeat through her chest every once in a while. She asked Kes how old she is, and Kes smiled at her coyly and said, quietly, "Teeuuuwwww." Kes was a little nervous, but when Dr. Kerr got out the stethescope she relaxed and smiled as Dr. Kerr listened to her chest and back (all that playing doctor with sister paid off).

Then when the nurse (different nurse) came in with the shots, Kes got really worried. She tried to stand up on me and play with my hair... she resisted turning around and sitting on my lap. Then the nurse wiped her legs with alcohol and that helped her relax (maybe she thought - wrongly - gee, this isn't so bad after all). She didn't cry with the shots (Hep A and Prevnar - yeah! for being DONE with Prevnar with only 2 doses) but she clearly did not like them. She seemed to be restraining herself - less from crying, more from pitching a tantrum at the nurse. Then the bandaids for the jabs went on her legs and she was pacified. She said, "Oh! Thank you." The nurse laughed and said, "You're welcome! Wow, I don't get thanked very often after giving shots. I'll have to keep you in my mind, Kes. What a sweetie."
