Stella's 5 year check up

Stella had her 5 year checkup with the pediatrician today.  Her stats are as follows:

Height =  44 inches (75th %)

Weight = 44 lbs (75th %)

She got a clean bill of health and she even let the nurse take her blood pressure (something she has always freaked out about).


She got 4 shots today but handled it well (Hep A, chicken pox, MMR, DTap and Polio).  The doctor said the MMR shot will probably result in fever and swelling.  And since I am retroposting, I can tell you that Stella had a strong reaction to the MMR...the swelling on her arm at the site of the injection was the size of a golf ball, very red, and very, very hot to the touch.  She had a fever for a day and the swelling and redness went away in about 4-5 days.

So after dinner today, we treated Stella (and the rest of us) to one of her (and ours) favorite desserts...Krispy Kreme Donuts.  Stella's favorite is the chocolate covered donut with sprinkles on top.
