Casa Moreno: Just me & Cassie today

I was absolutely dreading this day today. Cassie had her 15 month well check scheduled with Dr. C and the thought of taking her all by myself was killing me. The dreaded vaccines, the loud cries...and Papa wasn't going to be there? Whaaaaa!!!

Her appointment was scheduled for 11:00 a.m. and after a busy morning of playing, we got ready and made a mad dash out the door. We made it to the clinic at 11:05 a.m., just in time for the nurse to tell us that Dr. C was running at least an hour behind. Great, of course this is how it would pan out the only time Chris can't accompany me. We waited so long that Cassie gobbled up all of her snacks in the waiting room; the Cheerios, the Lil Puffs, and her very watered down apple juice. The only thing I managed to save were the few M&M's I had for her....those were reserved until after her shots.

All in all, Cassie's appointment went really well. She now weighs 24 pounds, 4 ounces, and is 32 inches tall. She gained exactly 3 pounds since her last visit in June. My little meatball sure is rounding out these days.

I am not at all surprised at how she's rounding out so fast lately. She has discovered the kitchen pantry and is constantly working her way in there to look for snacks.

And speaking of discoveries.....the girl has also discovered her bellybutton. It is driving me crazy. I was debating on whether to share this with everyone on the world wide web....you know in case her future husband happens to read it, but what the heck...maybe she'll read this one day and realize how silly she was as a baby and how much she enjoyed to drive me bananas. To simply put it, she loves her bellybutton. She loves it so much she likes to poke it any chance she gets....especially if we're not looking. I had to dig out some old onesies just so she wouldn't be able to lift her shirt up anymore. Please note that these onesies are size 6 to 12 months and at one time were long sleeved ;-)
