15 months

Hey, know what's fun? Take a semi-cranky, tired and hungry one year old and sit in your doctor's waiting room for an hour. Oh trust me it's way more fun that you'd think. Oh and you don't have to worry about entertaining her for the entire 60 minutes because that conveniently located garbage can will provide endless minutes of fun. After your 60 minutes are up you will find yourself in an uncomfortably small and ridiculously overheated examination room where your child will start to scream the second she sees the stethoscope. Be prepared for some minor assault when said stethoscope makes contact with skin. Also scream inducing, the scale (23 lbs, thank you very much). Apparently it's some sort of toddler torture device. Once you're finished with the scale it's time to get ready for the big finale, the needles. I'll take one in each arm thanks. Thought screaming was loud before? Just wait. I know it sounds horrible, but don't worry it will be over in less than 5 minutes. Which seems reasonable after waiting an hour. Then, and here's the bonus, you get to spend the evening with a toddler who while scream her head off if you just happen to glance in her direction, who will happily go to be early but only because she plans on being awake through the night to, you know, scream some more. Probably when you're weeping at watching Grey's Anatomy.

That sounds awful... but it is hilarious that Maya was afraid of the scale!
