Such a big girl!!

MaKena had her 3 year check-up on December 20th. I was anxious to see how much she had grown in the last year. Thankfully she’s been pretty healthy so it had been awhile since she had been weighed. We got checked in for her appointment and waited to be called back. Eventually the nurse called her name so we headed back and MaKena hopped on the scale. I was surprised to see she weighed 31lbs 12oz and was 38 inches tall. After getting weighed and measured she had her eyes checked. The nurse asked MaKena to stand in the doorway and look at an eye chart on the wall. The chart had shapes instead of letters. The nurse asked MaKena to tell her the shapes when she pointed to them. Then I was asked to cover one of her eyes and the nurse asked MaKena to read the shapes. It was hilarious. I wish I would have had a video camera with. I remember Jacob doing this but I don’t think he was as young as MaKena. After her vision test we went back to the room and finished up with the appointment. The doctor we saw was great. She was really good with MaKena. She ended up getting 3 shots in her leg. Poor girl. She cried a little but quickly forgot all about it when the nurse handed her a pencil and some play dough. They’re easily distracted at this age! As long as she stays healthy we won’t have to be back for another year. Yippee!!
