"a piece of work"...

karys had a pediatrician appointment today and the nurse practitioner described her as "a piece of work!" why you may ask. because miss k was her usual "diva" self. she had to be undressed to be weighed and as soon as we began taking her clothes off she started crying. she cried and cried for most of the appointment (and k can get loud). she also grunted (to let us know she's NOT happy) and gave us looks as to say "put my clothes back on and stop poking me!" as soon as she was able to sit (actually be held) upright she was okay. she just wanted to look around the room and see what was going on...

the nurse practitioner also said she was "perfect", "beautiful", and "strong" (i agree--but i'm her mother so i'm biased). in any case, here are her stats from her 1 month well visit:

• weight: 9 lb. 15 oz. which is the 75% for her age (up from 8 lb. 4 oz. at her 1 week appointment)
• length/height: 22 in. which is the 50% for her age (up from 19 1/4 in. at her 1 week appointment)
• head circumference: 37 cm (up from 36 cm. at her 1 week appointment)

i must add that i asked the nurse a few questions about what temperature we should keep our house, the flu shot, and k's vomit (all questions that i asked dill before). she was very good at answering my questions (and dill was very good as looking at me like "i told you so" when she gave the same answers he did). i'm glad i had an "expert" answer my questions (and maybe i'll start to listen to dr. daddy more--although he will admit he's a little rusty with pediatrics...)
