15 month Doctor Visit

We saw Doctor Eng today. Lexi weighs in at a measly 22.5 pounds and measures 32" tall. Although I don't think that height is correct. She is taller than every baby her age and we constantly hear how tall she is (and our rudimentary measurements put her at AT LEAST 33"). She had to have blood drawn today to test for anemia and lead poisoning (we do live in a "pre-war" building with OLD paint). The doctor put the needle in her little vein, and she just sat on my lap and watched. Not a peep from my brave little girl. She sat still and seemed somewhat fascinated by the flow of red blood through the tubes. And she was fascinated by the band-aid on her arm, as well. She kept touching it and feeling it. (On the bus ride home she wanted to take off her sweater so she could look at her bandage again). Also, when they gave her a vaccine, she initially cried out but was over it in a matter of seconds. Maybe we better start saving for Med school....
