Perfection in a Dr and 15 month stats


I took this adorable girl to the her 15 month well child check yesterday. She is almost 16 months, but i wanted to get her into a pediatrician. The family dr we were going to quit family practice (looser, ok not really, but kinda, it makes me mad, he was so so good at what he did) And that left me begging for an amazing kind of dr again. We have been going to the PA down here, and i like him. But, he is a PA and i never feel like he can answer my questions well enough.
We have been wanting a pediatrician for a while. The one we used when I have had babies up north was so so, we took Kyler to her twice when he was so sick a while back, but she wasn't my fav. So my good friend down here told me about hers, Dr. Bean that is in SLC. We wanted one up there that will come to IMC hospital when you have babies, because we will be having more babies and why not think ahead? Anyway, my friend said i would love her. I didn't really doubt her cause she also has the same OB/GYN that i have and really if she has Dr Terry and loves him, then Dr Bean must be great too. And as a bonus i guess Dr Terry referred my friend to Dr Bean making it undeniable that she is amazing.
SOOO, making a short story a short story instead of a novel of my side thoughts. We made the appointment. I took Brooklyn up. I fell head over heals for this woman. She is everything a pediatrician should be. Perfect. I loved her.
She talked to me for about 45 minutes! Did I mention that was is great?!
And, she validated my fear that she is grown up for her age. Remember the whinny post from 2 or so days ago. Yup, Im not the only one that thinks that. Dr. Bean said she would put her at at least 18 months if not more. She is too grown up for my baby. 
She did say that Brookies herniated belly button will most likely have to be surgically fixed later cause it is rare for a baby to get a herniated belly button after they are older (she got it 3 months ago). So, we will pray Brookie will prove her wrong (she said there is a possibility) so we dont have to do a surgery on my babe. 
Brooklyns stats from her appointment:
Height: 33.25 that lands her in the 97%!! tall tall tall
Weight: 22.10 lbs that lands her in about the 72% skinny for her height! This is why finding clothes that fit is so hard. She is wearing 2T pants!!
Head: 18.3 inch landing her just under the 50%

Love my tall tall girl!
