Today Riley had her 1-year check-up with Dr. Rufa. Well this was not a smooth and easy check-up by any means. Riley screamed from the time Dr. Rufa walked into the room until the last bit of blood was drawn for her lead test. It was horrifying and by far the worst doctor's visit for Riley AND mommy! Riley received a total of 4 shots and a prick in the finger for blood to be drawn. Her shots were given to her in her arm this time and not legs since Riley is now mobil. And although we have new stats on Riley to present, we can't be sure how accurate they really are since Riley was a wild woman in the office.
Weight: 22lbs
Height: 30in.
Head: 18.75in.*

Once again Dr. Rufa reported how impressed she was with Riley's large vocabulary and ability to walk. She said she treated this check-up the same way she would a 15 month old. We go back to see Dr. Rufa in one month for Riley's second flu shot...well at least it's only one shot! Riley was a brave girl (and so was her mommy). On the way home Riley enjoyed a cookie and her sippy cup - she deserved it!!
