Noah had his 4-month-old well-baby checkup Monday, and Sam got to come along for the ride.
She loves our pediatrician -- his name's Dr. Mark Baker, and I can't recommend him highly enough -- and his nurse, Karla, so she was excited to go along.
We got into the room, and within 20 seconds, Sam had snagged a pair of green exam gloves and was wiggling her skinny fingers into them. She stepped up on a stool beside the table, then hopped up onto it.
Sam: "OK, I'm all ready for baby Noah's checkup!"
Nurse Karla thought this was cute. So Sam got to help measure him (yet another of her odd fascinations: tape measures), and she trotted down the hall with us to weigh him (13 pounds, 8 ounces, which is not bad for a baby who didn't eat for two and a half straight days since his last checkup).
