Clean Bill of Health!

Went to NYC yesterday for Ruby's appt. with Dr. Aronson.  It made for a long day, but Ruby was a real trouper. An angel on the way up. She played with her doll, looked at her book, and we sang a lot of songs.  Slept the whole way back. We got there early, had some lunch, and then walked back to the office. She was a little taken back by the "loud trucks" and wanted me to hold her, but otherwise she was great.  As for Dr. Jane, she is a sharp lady with a very direct demeanor. Not a lot of small talk, but she has a heart of gold. So good with Ruby and you can tell she loves children and what she does. Ruby got a clean bill of health! Her giardia gone, of course, eczema much better, immunizations good for the year, etc. And she's gained weight finally! We don't own a scale here so I didn't know if she gained weight or not the past few months. We knew she was taller and appeared longer and leaner. Dr. Jane confirmed her height with us - 36"- and her weight is now 27 lbs! She is in the 13th percentile for height and the 23rd percentile for weight! Hurray! Perfectly healthy! The only thing she suggested was to make sure we take Ruby to the Dentist which I haven't done yet. So that will be  on my list of calls to make today. After running all day yesterday, we are gonna lay low today. Have a lazy morning, maybe hit the park, then play outside in her pool this afternoon. It's feeling like summer out there, and boy, do I love it! Just another month till we take Ruby to the beach for the first time! Can hardly wait!
