That Kavanna is smiling in her bath is a miracle.  She had a trauma at the pediatrician (all is well - she's developmentally on target, even a little ahead, and the doctor was really happy with her progress).  She had four shots and... (gulp) nine vials of blood drawn.  They need the blood to do a lot of testing to make sure her vaccines in China were effective and to check for various things.  She screamed (if you'll pardon the expression) bloody murder.  Poor baby.   

After it was over she clutched her stuffed animal and clung to us... she now has six Barbie bandaids and  horror of the children's lab... and she's made a quick recovery.

They recover quicker than we do from all that blood work. For my girl, cookies did the trick. Glad she is doing well as well as the rest of you.

Your blog post reads almost verbatim to mine, except for the nine vials of blood--ours only had three. But four vaccinations plus a TB test in one arm.
Glad she's doing well. Ours won't abide bathing--major freakout, like she's scared we're going to drown her in the sink. She barely tolerates sponge baths.

Poor Kavanna! I am dreading the time when I have to go through the same thing with Olivia. That would be one Dr.'s visit DH will definitely have to accompany me to.

By the way I love those pics!

Your daughter is just precious. Love the hair! What a happy baby.

Nothing a few bandaids and kisses can't fix.

What a cutie pie. And, I really do love the long bang look. I'm glad that she survived her first Pedi (and not the pedi mani.. ) - save that for later...visit.... Truly, she really looks so joyful, and thriving. Again, I'm just very happy for you!!!. xoxo
