natalie's 4 year check up!

Natalie had her 4 year well visit at the doctor's on Tuesday. Here is a quick recap of the "event":

This year, everything was different. Natalie got to take off her clothes and wear a [princess] gown, she had to give a urine sample, they did a hearing test and even tested her vision by making her read a chart with pictures on it across the room!

At 4 years old, she weighs 35 lbs (in the 50th percentile), and is 41.25 inches tall (75th percentile).

Natalie got 4 shots on this day and was soooooo brave. She flinched with each of them and cried for a minute after the last one (which was the one that actually burned). But she was absolutely thrilled when she got her sticker and lollipop for being so good! Her and I both just adore her doctor, who is so loving with her, and attentive to all of my questions, which i admit are listed on paper that i bring with me, because if i don't write them down i will forget to ask...

my little girl is growing up -- and i am so proud of her!
