A movie and Harper's check-up

This morning we decided to try out Regal Cinema's free summer movies with our friends Sheila and Addyson.  Every Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 AM they offer free G and PG movies.  Today was a Veggie Tales movie.  I would really suggest this activity!  Since everyone in the theater has little kids with them, no one gets annoyed if the kids are talking, playing or, in our case, dancing in the aisles during the movie.  Handley is a pro at the movie theater, but this was Harper's first time and I had no idea what to expect.  Since it was free we decided to give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised by how well she did. We sat in the handicap aisle so that Harper could have room to walk around in front of our seats.  She did that for part of the time and sat with me quietly the rest of the time.  We were able to stay for the first 45 mins. of the show before we had to leave for Harper's 15 month check-up.  
Harper's apt. went well.  She was very cooperative and didn't seem to mind getting checked out in the least.  Her stats are: 

weight - 24 lbs. 1 oz (70th percentile) 
height- 30 1/4 inches (50th percentile)
head - 18 1/2 inches (80th percentile)

She also got 3 shots that she wasn't too happy about, but nothing a little comforting from her mommy and big sis couldn't cure.  Plus, a trip to Chick-fil-a for lunch and a little ice cream treat helped too!
