Doctor Doctor

This face cracks me up......
Regan really doesn't mind the doctor, she actually kind of likes her. The paper gown, however, is another topic. Today we took Regan in for her 6 year well-child visit. The nurse asked her to put on the paper gown and I knew she'd hate it. She has never liked those things. So before we knew it, she hopped off the table, ripped off the gown and tossed it in the garbage. Our pediatrician walked into the room to find Regan in her undies wearing nothing more. Doc's response "fine, take it off!". 
Regan now stands 47.5 inches tall and weighs in at 54 lbs. 
She's growing great, definitely tall for her age.  
After much discussion and a few years of "waiting it out", we will be taking her to see an orthopedic doctor for her "knock knees" in the coming weeks. We, along with her pediatrician, are hopeful it is a muscular, not joint, issue. That said, the track would likely be physical therapy. 
If it is joint?, well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. 
So keep your fingers crossed for good news.
