This is our pediatrician, Dr. John Balfanz. We love him! We see him at Pediatric and Young Adult Medicine, which is located next to Children's Hospital, downtown St. Paul. He was the first doctor Ethnie saw in the hospital when she was born and we've gone to him ever since! He is a very gentle, caring man. You can tell he really loves children and loves his profession. We have always taken his advice and have never been disappointed.
On Monday, the kids both had appointments with him; Ethnie had her 5-year exam and Emmett his 12-month exam. Ethnie passed both her hearing and vision exams perfectly. Then came the hard part - 4 shots! I was surprised at how many she needed. She got 2 shots in each arm and did not shed ONE tear! I was so proud of my big girl. She was given a special gift bag with candy, coloring book, and stickers. Ethnie is now 41 inches tall and weighs 42 pounds.
Emmett did not do as well as Ethnie did. He was already tired because it was nap time, so that didn't help. He got 2 shots in his leg and cried a lot. Poor bud. He just wanted to be snuggled and take a nap. I still can't believe my little man is 12 months old! He is now 32 inches tall and weighs 26 pounds.
