Making a run for it
We took Nora in for her 15 month checkup and oil change on Wednesday. She’s tracking just on the positive side of the median for height, scraping the bottom of the 10% line for weight again (up from a low of 2%), and also had her head size measured. Before any of this could happen, though, we changed her into her spiffy hospital gown, left the door open, and left her shoes on. Naturally, she made a run for it.
bonus video: dancing
Ever since she saw her granny do it last week, Nora’s been trying to dance. Here’s a video I caught with our digital camera of her dancing. You should be able to hear her tapping her feet just as the dr walks in. Then (and this is my favorite part) she tries to scurry away to hide from the doctor behind mom’s legs but she gets distracted by the cabinets on the way and literally can’t resist their siren song.
nora: *tap tap tap tap tap*
jen: you need a video camera for that one.
me: that’s what I’m doing.
jen: (to nora) dance?
dr krieger: she is just too cute.
(we totally agree but now we have an official medical opinion on the subject. happily, there are no prescriptions for a serious case of “too cute”).
