Here Belle borrowed the pediatrician's stethoscope to exam Emily. The doctor herself also examined Emily and determined that Emily is growing just fine. Emily weighs12 pounds and 2 ounces (82nd percentile) and is 22 inches tall (35th percentile). The diameter of Emily's little head is 15 inches. She is growing well and developing as she should. The doctor was not concerned with Emily's jump in weight and is happy with Emily's growth and development, as well as with Emily's abilities (social smiling, head-strength, head shape).
Belle reminded the doctor more than once during the exam to "be gentle to Emily." Belle was excited that Emily left the examination room with two band-aids because Emily had two shots and an oral vaccine. For being so helpful, Belle received a lollipop.
We left the doctor and went to a local library's Story Hour: a successful morning for all.
