PEDIATRICIAN DAY… 15 MONTH VACCINES!

I WENT TO THE PEDIATRICIAN

FOR MY 15 MONTH CHECK UP!

I AM 20 POUNDS 10 OUNCES!

I AM 30 INCHES LONG!

I AM DOING VERY GOOD!

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today was VACCINATION DAY, here at Camp Nana.    I was very good for Nana all day.   I woke very early and then took a morning nap, when I woke up, it was time to go to the pediatrician for what will most likely be the last time in the Mitten State.  Unless I need Dr. “E” when I come visiting.   He had everything ready for me, like Nana had requested, a complete copy of my medical records for you and daddy to take back to Fort Hood, and my new pediatrician.  

While I am to continue my tummy medicine, I am slowly weaning off it.   I ate some yogurt and had a taste of frozen custard yesterday, and dairy still causes a little reflux, but nothing like when little.  So he gave me a prescription for you to take back to Fort Hood, until my new doctor makes decisions as to whether or not I need it.   My heart sounded great!   My lungs too.  He examined my head circumference, my ears, my mouth, my eyes, my abdomen, and said… I AM A PRINCESS!

Nana will give you all my paperwork when you return home so that you can copy it and keep one for us, and give one to my new pediatrician.

I really don’t like vaccinations, and NIETHER DOES NANA!   The process of getting them is not her favorite.  She says she wishes that the nurse who administers the shots, would have a tech come in and old the baby instead of Nana.   It seems so strange a mom or dad, or Nana or Poppy or anyone holding the baby down and letting someone “stick” the baby.   It a tech held the baby and IMMEDIATELY GAVE THE NOW CRYING AND HYSTERICAL CHILD TO A PARENT OR GRANPARENT OR WHOM EVER for them to soothe, well it would be so much less traumatic on the Nana types who feel the baby is looking to be protected and  I would not have looked at Nana with eyes that asked “why would Nana let anyone do that to me? ”   

Yea, I have heard it is for my own good, and I know IT IS CAUSE EVERYONE LOVES ME THAT I MUST ENDURE… BUT IT IS JUST REALLY A VERY  HARD CONCEPT TO GRASP  – EVEN FOR A SUPERGENIUS  15 MONTH OLD –  WHO ALREADY READS AND  WRITES LOVE LETTERS TO HER MOM AND DAD  IN THE LAND OF SAND – AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. 

It hurts and Nana let’s them do it… IS THIS THE SAME NANA WHO HAS TROUBLE TELLING ME NO, cause she doesn’t want to make me cry or hurt my feelings?   I mean really… does this make sense… she cannot tell me NO but she lets them stick a needle in my thigh?   Weird.

I will put it on my list of things I need to figure out later on in life.   Along with things like  why some people  CRY tears of joy when they are happy!   Rumor has it I will not fully get it all until I am older, so for now… I MOVE ON.

Anyway for the rest of the day at Camp, I was put into TAKE IT EASY MODE,  AND WAS  – DARE I SAY IT-  A BIT OF A FUSSY PRINCESS…  but it is temporary and baby Tylenol helps me feel like my sweet self again quickly!

I hope that you and daddy know that today and every day, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

As Camp Nears It’s End…and tomorrow is a big day!

Dear Mom and Dad,

It is so hard for all the campers to believe that I am preparing to go.  They all feel like I just got here…. probably because I am so DARN CUTE AND SO ADORABLE!    I am so excited to see you and Daddy!  Here I am at camp today…. playing and having a good time!   Waiting with GREAT ANTICIPATION TO SEE YOU BOTH!

Monday’s here at camp are odd because every one really puts in a  long day.   They go to work and school early, and they don’t get home until late.   Mondays have become my rehearsal day… yep, singing ALLLLLL DAY… NANA SINGING 🙁   So, I was thinking, stop the singing by playing with the KITTY.   I would play with the kitty AND NANA WOULD NOT SING… I went walking over….(how cool is that to say)  yea so I went walking over to play with the kitty…

What do you mean you don’t want to play with me…. hey,  I THOUGHT THE KITTY WOULD STAY AND PLAY!

Worse news… tomorrow is DOCTOR DAY!   Yep, IMMUNIZATION DAY!   My fifteen month check up.   Nana says it is her ‘least favorite babysitting thing” to do since it makes me cry and we all know NANA DOES NOT LIKE IT WHEN I AMNOT HAPPY,  BUT SHE DOES take me for shots, and despite her not wanting me to be unhappy we seem to still go… hmmmm, you would think she could be a slacker in this department, but NO…   THEN EVEN MORE  NOT SO EXCITING NEWS…. I GET TO GO BACK   again  FOR MY 18 MONTH EXAM!   What?   When does this well baby and shot thing stop I wonder?… only three months  in between.   Well at least I can hope to go with Mom and Dad, and who knows maybe the new pediatrician in TEXAS WILL BE MORE FUN!   Nana (no fun Nana going and burstin’ my bubble already) says not to count on it…. that baby shots are baby shots in just about any state in the USA, she even says I’m lucky?   LUCKY TO GET SHOTS?   But you know Nana, she says we are lucky that we have the medicine we have to keep babies healthy and strong.   She says I am lucky because Mom and Dad want the best for me.     EVEN IF IT MEANS WELL BABY CHECKS AND SHOTS… Yukko!   ON A BRIGHTER NOTE…. Great Grandma and Great Papa will return soon!   Fantabulous news… and it means we will have some time together before I leave camp!  

I am doing good other than my chronic insomnia.   I hope to have it undercontrol sometime soon, but just incase, be prepared for less sleep Mom and Dad… I really am up and down a lot especially lately… I was doing better, but maybe just maybe…it’s more teeth… time will tell.

I hope you and Dad are doing well.   I will write you tomorrow and let you know the PEDIATRICIAN NEWS, NEW WEIGHT, NEW LENGTH, AND YES ALL ABOUT the immunizations….  until then remember I am, as always, Your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Dear Mom and Dad,

So, Nana is not the most objective when it comes to me, and I know the campers here… would agree… they love me!   But you have to see today’s photos, and then tell me… is Nana is RIGHT?!   Oh my what a day Nana and Mr. Nikon had with me!   I know I usually send a big long love letter with my photos, but today… well my love letter to you is MOSTLY PHOTOS, since all we did today was take Mr. Griffy to the veterinarian for a check up! (he is great, only problem he has  – he thinks he is a toy poodle, not a St. Bernard)  Thinks he can sit on laps like a little dog, and most definately HE CLEARLY does not realize he has a major DROOLING/SHEDDING PROBLEM.  Otherwise he is awesome!  No new things happening at camp!   But I must say, I did nap well today.  Then, while sleeping…MOMMY CALLED ME!   I am sorry I missed your call Mom, but Nana, likes to hear you are alright!   So thanks for the call, and know that I have this spectacular set of photos for you and Daddy to enjoy- as well as all my followers… get ready cause… well, I have to say… NANA IS SO SO RIGHT, I am not sure I could be more adorable..

So here we are, yet another day down, and coming up on …. OUR BEING A FAMILY AGAIN, and Nana just wanted you to have sweet dreams of me, and give you both the chance to see me TODAY AND EVERY DAY, just like all mommy’s  and daddy’s want to .   So here are a few more … because  Nana says… you can never get enough of looking at your kids… she should know she still loves hanging out with all of her kids… when she gets the opportunity.   So… have fun Mom… have fun Dad… I am happy to oblige with some incredible pics of the day!

I love you both, and until tomorrow, please know I AM YOUR LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, your sweet daughter,

Guillianna!
