We took Sidney to visit her pediatrician this week and check out her growth over the last year. In full Sidney style, she walked into the exam room, took one look at the gown and said "I'm not putting that on". We pleaded and bribed with her to at least take off her shirt so the doctor could take a peek and she continued to refuse. The poor thing is fearful of the doctor, just as she is of the dentist and any other stranger who wants to invade her space.
The doctor then walked in and smiled, as Sidney clung to me. I mentioned that we had once thought Regan was our challenging child....boy how wrong we were :) Sidney did allow the doctor to exam her, from the safety of my lap, but when it came time to do the hearing/vision test and check her color-blind status, she melted. Forget it. That was not going to happen. So we ended with a flu mist, which went much better than a shot would have gone.
As for stats: she's 30 lbs on the dot (fully clothed of course) and 36.5 inches. Growing like a weed!
