18 month check up

Chloe had her 18 month check up appointment, and here she is posing on the scale. Her stats: weight: 25 pounds, 15.3 ounces. height: 33.25. Both are around the 70th percentile. She had to get 3 shots at this visit, but I was thrilled to learn two things. First, she doesn't have to get any more vaccines until she is 4!! Second, because her allergy to eggs is mild (she can eat eggs baked into foods, like cookies, bread, etc) she is allowed to get the flu shot!! Hooray!! When we found out that she was allergic to eggs (terrible rash and vomiting after eating scrambled eggs), I was told by numerous people, including the ER doctor, that Chloe would not be able to get flu shots. But her pediatrician disagrees. He even showed me the documentation showing that kids like Chloe can get it. I am so relieved!!
In other news, Chloe has learned to ride a scooter. This picture was taken in front of Grandma and Grandpa's house. Chloe is able to ride up and down the sidewalk. Pretty amazing for a 20 month old!! I think watching her older cousins ride helped her learn how! Hopefully, this is a sign that she inherited her dad's coordination, rather than her mom's clumsiness!!!
Please see the next post for her photo session pictures.....

Oh my... Garrett is only 3 lbs lighter than Chloe and a year younger. Yikes! She's sure a cutie pie!

I'm so glad to hear that her egg allergy is mild enough to allow her to get the flu shot. What a relief!
